Car has extreme shudder/cutout right before the tranny flashes when driving in the 1300-1800 or so rpm range......feels very strange also accompanied with severe engine lugging in the same range when the tcc locks up at 42mph.....

car basically stops and holds the rpm there and wont go past and will finally break thru and go......if i shift to P or N and do the same thing the engine revs roght up instantly...wheni go to downshift, i have to nearly floor it to get the down**** and when i do the motor just sits at one rpm or climbs very slowly and car does not pulll at all hardly.......also very harsh shift when it does go and accelerate........

and my roadtest today i did pull off and adjust the tv cable(wot shifts kinda liked to move around slightly since i bought it but always shifted good)...symptoms were slightly lessened after this unitl i went out on the highway and hammered the hell out of it , it wouldnt hold wot until 5200 and began to shudder/hold rpm with no acceleration again anfter that.........(after i stopped again)

i also sometimes hear a loud popping noise seems to be centered in the bellhousing area cant quite i.d. it :-( stalled it out in driveway and its not the motor or tranny mounts,, motor doidnt rock or snap up.....did notice stall dropped to 1200rpmand it started spinning in the driveway ! this used to occur at 16-1800rpm or so when it was all working correctly............and i have verified my tach within 100rpm with 2 diff scanners so i know it dropped about 300-400 rom since last time but later functioned normally

im damned near positive its something in the tc (i think, may be wrong) but that means im doing a trannny anyhow ....fluid isnt nice a nd brite pink......kinda looking old but not really burnt, or smelling burnt
lemme know what u think guys
u might be building my tranny :-)
later

ttt
desperate :-(

 

My initial reaction is a fuel pressure/delivery problem, possibly even a restricted exhaust. It could also be an ignition problem too. You mentioned checking with a scanner so take a look at you Int/Bln readings and O2/Crosscounts, especially while the problem is occuring. Any codes?

 

Overrun clutch in the ocnverter appears to have gone bye bye :-(

its not fuel or ignition related and the engine is strog as hell it literally stalls out like a t-brake is on :-( stall is getting lower and really going nuts on takeoff ..literally stops and holds the car at rpm it happens at with no more engine rev or forward progress :-)

i swear i break stuff the one way no one else does

i even dragged out my atsg manuals and the factory manusla and it all leads back to internal converter problems :-(
got a hold of pro-built and jimmy of jimmy's transmissions and they both concurred (kinda glad i never did my t'go shift kit and servo etc lol would have been a waste of time because i think this was going on for a lil while anyhow :-( i dont win but i dont plan on quitting :-)
so its getting a new 700 and vigi converter setup witin next week and a half
thanks for the help
