Consult an auto gearbox specialist - don't think recond TC's are not that expensive :-/

I'm not understanding this Wayne, you dont have a clutch in an auto box, the torque convertor does the job of the clutch.

Have you no drive? is that the problem?

The Torque converters are prone to stripping the internal splines, a rebuilt converter will cost you between £80 - 130 from any good auto specialist.
