... your tq converter breaks, my car was having problems shifting into 3/4 but somtimes it would inlike a symptom of a burnt clutch pack but later on as i was trying to get home it lost all engagment like it wasnt in gear at all, just free reving....tranny shop says " maybe" its the converter scince the tranny is only 2 days old after a rebuild, but i dont know if they just want more money and want me to replace my converter......its a midwest 3600 and it was fine when it went in there and now all of the sudden goes out.....what would the symptoms of a converter going out be....

 

i got the same proplem with my build tranny and it was the Drum in the tranny

 

Converter is the same for all gears. Anything that's gear
specific is inside the tranny. If the converter wasn't
coupling you wouldn't go in 1st or 2nd either.

"Maybe" the tranny shop is trying to dodge their duty
by making you think somebody else is to blame.

 

Tranny is to blame...TQ won't cause those symptoms..trust me...I've blown up 2 4L60's and know what I'm talkin bout.

 

let me be a little more clear, it was acting like a burnt clutch pack but somtimes it would go into 3rd and stay, it was an inconsistant patern.then all the sudden it didnt engage anything at all. the 1-2 'noid was showing a code as well

 

Toasted tranny, not converter.

 

what would cause the lack of engagement? if not the converter?

 

after doing a search a similar member had problem like this and his front pump was shot...think thay could be the case? i had to drive it fucked up for close to 45 miles to get home....maybe in the prosess i broke the pump.....juts looking for alternate issuse to tell my tranny shop....

 

ttt.....
