Default Flushing a converter

Done some reading and havent seen much of any one have any good ideas to flush a converter them selves.. Fixin to dig into my old trans and learn how to rebuild it myself and I was wanting to flush this converter without sending it off to some one to be cut and cleaned.. any good ways to clean this..

Not really, and it is a gamble to try and reuse it. I suggest getting it cleaned then you know it is good.

I agree with him, thats always what my old tranny guy used to say.

But i have heard of people flushing them with diesel and basically sloshing it around a bit and pouring it out. Can u get it cut locally? seems there actually several shops that can do it....

Agreed, that's not a chance that you want to take
