It is actually bad to put it into 'N' or 'P' for long periods of time 9with engine running) because it will cause more wear....... doesnt make sense but this is from what I read in aan article that appeared in BMW car Mag some time ago....My ZF4HP22 was rebuilt at the cost of RM3k at a specialist...... a well known workshop quoted me same price for rebuild.....the same one reconditioned (off the shelf already rebuilt) was about the same (or cheaper by a couple of hundred ....depends on availability).....while the cost of chop shop unit is about RM1.2k.....a forummer mentioned he can get for RM800 but as far as I am concerned I didnt find any at that price when I had to do mine .....My guess is you should do both the tranny and torque convertor together .....rebuild work inlcudes rebuild of torque convertor so no sense doing one part but not other....</blockquote>
