Default Torque converter leaking, need a new one

My 01 996 C2 tip with 65K had a slow transmission leak, it started really leaking, not a few drops but a small stream was pumping out. I took it to my local indy. The torque converter has a small crack that is leaking pretty bad. I was able to see it and feel the crack with my fingernail. Sunset quoted me 1,200 for a new one. None are in the country and it needs to come from Germany, 2-5 weeks!! No one I talk to has heard of one going bad, my luck. They checked the RMS and it looks great. I wonder if I should have them replace it anyways with the new and improved one or just leave it alone since it's not leaking.



Anyone know where to get a torque converter and is a used one an option. Thanks for you help.
