I have an Alsport Trisport MTS-30. Does anyone know what the model number is on the Comet Torque converter? My trike is completely torn down for restoration. Im considering replacing the complete torque converter. Is there a certain brand, model or type torque converter that is superior or better than the original? I do know that over the years clutch and torque converter manufacturers can offer a higher performance or better built components that are so much better than the Origional 48 year old model of yesteryear. I just don't have that much involvement with these components and would like some advice from someone that knows the ins and outs on this. Thanks in advance

I believe you have to run a series 20 TC. Haven't worked on mine for a while and don't remember. I just know there was a space issue with the TC. Buy a comet, it will last forever.
