  • Torque convertor going bad???

    So it started about 2 weeks ago and definately isn't getting any better. I don't know if its the tranny or torque convertor, but I think it is one of those. When I put the car in gear, either reverse or a forward gear and let off the brake and/or step on the gas the car will surge sometimes like it is slipping in and out of gear (it feels similar as to what happens when you stall a manual tranny car, except the engine keeps running). When going higher speeds in 3rd or 4th gear it has a slight vibration, unless I step on the gas enough for the torque convertor to unlock, then it smooths out. And sometimes at high rpms (like 5k+) under WOT, the rpms will jump with the car obviously not accelerting anymore, then it will just be normal after a second. There is other things that it does, but thats basically it. Does that sound like a torque convertor problem? If not, what does it sound like?

    Thanks,

    Shawn

    fluid flow problem - low fluid - or internal problem - highly doubt torque converter - see your other thread, I posted some helpful troubleshooting tips so you're able to provide us with more information - http://60degreev6.com/index.php?name...ewtopic&t=4037
