    Hi all, I own a 2005 Holden Adventra which has a 5 speed transmission. The transmission was rebuilt by a reputable company in October of 2020 and was found that it failed because of the torque converter.

    I have just finished fitting a L67 and box. :dance: Something is running out of alignment, I was thinking torque converter, as the vibration can be heard from bell housing the strongest, (only when car is in gear) so I went about changing to standard torque converter out of my N/A. as fair as...
