i've been told my torque tube damper needs replacing on my '85 2.5 lux auto.
is this easy? has anybody done this?
i've been quoted a lot of money but he said it was mainly labour and parts charges.
i can get another damper and am confident of doing it myself unless there are hidden dangers?
any help is very welcome.
thanks Matt
 
I have heard a couple of people mention problems with the torque convertor damper - aparantly this is an expensive rubber item that perishes with age and it is difficult to get hold of a good one other than new. It might be worth trying an American list, e.g. Pelican parts or renlist as they have a lot more autos over there and might be able to help out.
I assume it is similar to a clutch change on a manual car (which I haven't done either) but disconnect shift lever move box back remove torque tube for access.
Sorry can't be of more help than that,
Tony
