I have the classic hard shift after warming up and the tranny spews fluid. (98 v6 dohc AT)

After a lot of research, I am absolutely convinced that I need to change the torque converter and valve body. I read at some point a brand that I should choose for the valve body. But, I haven't been able to find it again. Does anyone know the preferred brand of valve body? My understanding is the valve body somehow damages the torque converter. If anyone can explain that, I would also be very grateful.

I can't tell you how much I have enjoyed this forum. I have managed to patch up this little car from information ya'll have shared. Thank you to all for your unselfish generoscity !!! Joe
 
Any UNWORN body will work including a stock Ford one. You may be referring to Sonnax parts. Look up Transgo CD4E Jr. shift kits too, sometimes you can repair your own.
