Tranny/Convertor revisited.. More info Took the car for a ride today. As always, I watched all temps very closely. Was driving around for about 30 minutes. Tranny was running about 160. Left the car in overdrive and went up a steep hill. ....
You could feel what "felt like" the convertor starting to hook up and then let go.. While keeping a constant gas peddle, I tapped the brake.
Rpms jumped way up to 4000 rpms(felt like the tranny was slipping)and in less than (what seemed like) a minute or so, tranny temps went up to 196 before I reached the top of the hill.
Once the convertor locked back up, the tranny temps leveled off and started back down.
How can I tell if its the convertor, a Yank SY3500 or the tranny which was just rebuilt??
What sucks is I SELDOM hammer the car. My buddy beats the hell out of his and it runs like a top..
Thanks in advance.
