torque converter going, now what?

As the topic says, do I fix it or just drive and let it completely destroy itself and then change the entire tranny? I don't want to get stuck on some country backroad at night.

I think you can just replace the torque converter. Wouldn't be a bad time to do a manual tranny swap if you gotta take out the tranny to fix/replace the torque converter anyway.

I have a torque convertor for sale if you need yours replaced. Much cheaper than a new or rebuilt one. Lemme know.

Not sure which model tranny, but its the ECT one coupled to the 3sge engine. No clue if the TC are universal for all camrys.
