Hello tvt I'm new here and to this amazing van I got my hands on!!
I bought it with transmission problems but everything around it seems in great condition.
Now the transmission does not engage in any gear and I hear a clicking clanking sound where the torque
Converter is. I'm sure its shot but would the kickdown cable being frayed also not make it engage in gear or is that just to change gears while driving? I have another transmission in the back that it came with that has an excellent kick down cable. Is it an easy swap or am I going to have to drop the pan? Also am I wasting my time changing the torque converter I am new to auto transmissions any help would be appreciated before I buy parts for this beauty.

Thank you
Charles
