Another thing which he didn't mention in his initial post is that he had a torque converter completely rebuilt and got his car back last summer (took 8 months). I'm not sure if there's debris in his 4EAT from when the trans just sat on a bench at the repair shop, or if the rebuilt torque converter had metal shavings in it...

Basically, there are a lot of details that were left out. Svxfiles also spoke to Andrew for ~45 minutes and couldn't conclusively isolate the problem. That's why we think there are multiple things at play with his '92.

A very early 92 can have the pump gasket problem. As a 92 It would have the lining problem. This problem affects the TC lock-up clutch linings to do the cooler blockage and gear set burn -up. It also sheds chips from the other clutches and band, in the trans to block the screen filter.

Did he say why the converter was rebuilt?
