Cleaning a TC

[BMFB]

I have a question. I am buying a Torque converter, and I was wondering, in the future, when/if I blow my trans and it sends bits of itself into the converter, is it possible to flush the debris out, or is it done for?

they can be flushed or worst case cut and rewelded

Is it a stock convertor? or a high stall? Stockers are usually a $125.00 rebuilt so I wouldn't chance a flush on it. If it is a more dollar convertor a flush might be o.k depending on what actually broke in the tranny. Otherwise get it cut open and inspected and then it should be o.k.

I was looking at getting a spec-rite, My guess for the trans breaking will be destroyed clutches, or a shattered sprag. it hasn't happened yet
