I have a 1989 GTA with a 700R4 and whn I stop I have to put the tranny in Neutral because it feels like it pushing the car anyone knows what I need to adjust?

Re: car pulls forward on a stop light
any of the above but I've always felt the converters were to tight in these cars.

Re: car pulls forward on a stop light
Thanks Everyone
1. I Just did all the brakes and they hold the car just that I feel that is pushing to hard
2. How can I know if my torque converter is bad?
3. Idle Speed at first I taught of that but I fix the Vacuum hose that was causing the hi Idle an it continues.
So I'm Leaning for the converter now my question is; is this typical of hi performance cars? or is this just a bad Converter?

Re: car pulls forward on a stop light
What is your idle RPM in gear (drive or overdrive)?

Between 600 - 700RPM
When it had a Vacuum leak was between 700 - 900RPM
