ATF Level Normal

Warmed up engine, drove a little checked the fluid level on transmission and it's normal, within the crosshatched area. When shift on reverse feels a bit hard than used to. Guess the next will be to find a torque converter.

I'm wondering if would make sense to use the torque converter that I have from the old failed transmission. It's not the original. This torque converter it's painted in blue with a sticker "2001" I'm guessing that's when the previous owner replaced the original converter. Looks a lot like the ones Napa sells.

The one on the truck now should be the original from the 1994 truck it came from with about 118K miles.

The failed transmission had quite a bit of shavings/dust and clutch pieces and don't know if those contaminants could've affected the torque converter.

Any toughs will be appreciated

Thanks for reading!
