trans slipping means rebuild it or buy a built one

converter giving up can be fixed but depending the price of fixing it vs buying a better converter is up to you

alright man i have already rebuilt it once. i was thinking if it was the converter of getting a yank tt3000 or maybe someone else has another idea it is my dd. i am going to ask a couple of mechanics here of cost and how much to look at it first then break it apart find whats wrong i guess and rebuild it again. thanks for all the help.
