where to buy torque converter
so where are you guys buying TCs from for those beloved 5hp 19 boxes?
Porsche 997.1 GT3 CS I Alpina E46 B3s Coupe I Alpina E46 B3 3.3 Touring I Ducati 749S Mono I Ducati 748R I Ducati 749 Track Bike I Ducati 916S
just spoke to jason at stephens (son of the boss man) and they would prefer to refurb the box given mileage and say that a TC refurb is 800 plus vat with no guarantee. box refurb from 1500 plus vat.
interestingly, the only diff bits on an alpina 5hp 19 vs a boggo 5hp 19 are valve chest and casings. i actually thought the frictions were different too?

800 was what I was quoted; thought that was pretty reasonable. In my case, the car's just a little over 60k so the complete rebuild likely wasn't justified.
I knew the valves/solenoids were different; the B3s TC is a different part number from the standard 330ci so I can only assume it has slightly different internals...
Be interested to know how you get on.

Bought my TC through a ZF agent near Bristol using the Alpina Part Numbers, of course at a fraction of the price from the dealer.
Let me know if you want more info.
