i posted earlier about this problem but did not get the answer i was looking for. especially when the car is cold, going up hills the torque converter keeps kicking on and off. it seems likew the car is upshifting and downshifting but i think its the torque converter. i adjusted the cable on the throttle and it still does it. i have no idea what to do. is my torque converter shot? should i take it somewhere? if i keep driving my car will it ruin my tranny? please help me! im stumped...........

 

Are you sure that's a torque converter problem...?

Sounds like a slipping tranny to me. I'd know.

 

well, i sure hope not. i guess im going to have to take it somewhere. thanks for the response tho, at least someone responded, thanks a lot guys, this forum did me a lot of good....

 

at a certain speed and throttle, you may get a jerk from the tcc engaging in od at a low speed, then the rpm drop enough, the trans downshifts, the tcc disengages, rpm goes up, shifts back to od, and it all begins again

 

ok, well im going to try putting a torque converter cutout switch in tomorrow and if it still does it then i knwo the tranny's slipping, if not, then its the tc
