Automatic Transmission getting rebuilt
I have have a 1997 F350 crew cab Power Stroke with Auto Trans. I started having problems a while back after searching this site and having the codes read, I don't have the code right here but it said transmission slip torque converter fail. The transmission shop said that I could more then likely get by with just a torque converter but recommended that he tear it down and look inside.
Is there anything special I should have him do while he is in there? Is there deferent torque converters I should be looking at?

Secondary, I am having mine rebuilt as we speak, should be ready today. I was having the same codes and upon inspecting, the TC was shot and metal was in the pan which required a total rebuilt. Make sure that they put a heavy duty TC and parts in. I will post price, parts, etc.. once I pick it up today

Should I change my exhaust down pipe while I have the transmission out? It seems like now would be the time, but is there something special I need to do or are they just a bolt on item?
