How Much Work is this: Converter

If the ring gear has one or more broken teeth on it, yes, for dependability the converter or the ring should be replaced in my experience. I know that it isn't a must do situation, but what happens if more teeth are broken off? Stranded one night in the middle of no where?

I don't understand your question. Whether teeth are broke or not has no affect on "how you repair it." If they are broken, theys iz'

...........or you mean "getting by for now" and later you break more? Well think about this........MAYBE the next time that jams up it will break the bellhousing. With an automatic, that's a pretty extensive repair.
