Transmission problems...new torque converter?
For those of you that remember I was the one that got mud in my
transmission a few weeks ago. It was cleaned out and flushed several
times, and the band (the one on the outside of the transmission) has
been adjusted. It drives perfectly unless I drive it hard. If I drive
the vehicle hard, I get a shuttering at take-off and between 1st and
2nd gear. Shifting to third gear never makes it shutter. The question
is where do I go from here? Do I need a new torque converter or what?
I'm planning on taking it to a shop but I'd like to know your ideas
first.
Thanks,
Mike

Re: Transmission problems...new torque converter?
I'm thinking that all that mud damaged a set of clutches or the band (¿On
the outside of the transmission? ¿Huh?) Either don't drive it hard, or have
it disassembled, parts inspected and what is bad replaced. That would be a
rebuild.

Re: Transmission problems...new torque converter?
It could be the convertor, or it could also be that the clutch linings
have been contaminated from the water. The fact that it doesn't do it in
every gear would lead me to believe that it is something with the
clutches. The convertor would do it all the time. but it is also
possible that the gear multiplication is amplifying the problem. The
convertor is basically a fluid coupler, so IMO it is less likely to be
affected from the water than the clutches, but it is only a judgment call.

How is the transmission mount? A bad or loose one can cause shudders
when shifting.
