Q:
my 96 ford contour transmission suddenly stopped working overnight,So i bought a rebuilt transmission same model,Could i use the original torque converter?
A:
Generally as long as your torque converter isn't cracked and leaking you should be fine. However, if you already shelled out the money for the transmission, I would get a torque convertor as well for the simple fact that:
Your old torque converter is going to have metal shavings and impurities from your old transmission, do you want that in your new one?
A:
^^^ ditto. It might save you a couple hundred, but you don't want that kind of uncertainty.
