stall converter

[misty440]

So I have a Coan 2800 stall converter. It is missing teeth and the starter will not engage. A friends friend has a trans shop and says that he will drop the trans, have the converter rebuilt and reinstall it for around $600. Is this worth it or should I drop the trans myself and buy a new converter? After the engine rebuild I only drove it for two summers before I had to put her away for awhile. That was ten years ago.  Does anyone know a place in Chicago that can put a new gear on it?
Thanks,
Chris

if you can do it yourself you will save money since most stall converters are around $250.

PTC makes a nice 2500-2800 stall converter for around $250.00...save some money and drop it yourself.
