You can drop the pan with the tranny in the car...have your shop check the valve body to see if a shift kit has been added. Converter can be swapped without completely removing the transmission. [check the flexplate and make sure it is in good condition]

You can also upgrade the governor without a tear down. A remote cooler and deep sump pan are also simple upgrades that will help extend tranny life.

ATI is a good source for th-400 parts and advice.
