Where is the best place to buy a remanufactured torque convertor for a 1996 850 turbo? Not necessarily looking for the cheapest rebuild, but one that has a good reputation.

I've got a used one in my parts car that I could pull from but I'm trying to avoid future problems from unknown history. I thought about pulling mine out and sending off to be remanufactured. Anyone know of any good remanufacturers?

I've not heard of them going bad FWIW, so a used one may be ok. But back on topic: sorry, don't know of a source.

I did a complete fluid exchange yesterday through the output hose and the difference after 1 day has been phenomenal.

Right, unless the thing is polluted with burned friction material, or has burned itself, they don't really go bad.
But if needed, I can also recommend Florida Torque Converter. I used them several years ago on a GM transmission rebuild I did. There is a similar place in LA but I can't recall the name right now. Dayco in Dayton is also a big rebuilder of torque converters.
