Transmission issues

Hey guys, I'm thinking about having my tranny rebuilt.. with the issue I'm having with the jolt when the converter locks up I brought it in and they said there are some 0's in some of the adaptations which is a bad thing.. has anyone else had that issue and had an easy fix?

Easy fix, recently had the same issues. Sonnax makes the TCC damper valve and sleeve kit to fix it. Replaces the stock valve in the tranny valve body that is not holding pressure and causes the harsh/abrupt torque converter lockup. The part is only $23. There is also a ton of info on their website for our transmissions.

Thanks but I just spent a grand on a nrw valve body from MB last month. So that's not it.
