904 and 8 3/4" gasket advice

Yep, they would have to open it up.
Just thought the cost would probably be less, but maybe not.
And while it's open, clean it, check either the bearing or fibre washer, check the sprag and sprag race. Also, if it's a lockup, the disc on the lockup piston might be contaminated and need replacing as well as the sealing o-ring on the piston. And then, the big issue that could crop up if you didn't go through it properly. What's the warranty and what all is covered. Some industrial converters that bolted together did have a bolt-in replacement hub. The customer could do his own repair with a new hub, and a couple of O-rings. Ahh the good old days.
