Subject: Re: Signs of a bad torque converter? by RickAnthony on 2012/3/7 6:14:58 I would think it the vanes were bent, you would have issues all the time not just cold or hot.... Again I'm not a trans expert, but I have rebuilt several GM trans's mostly the 4L60E... The converter leaking down over night, I would think if there were air inside the converter it would purge out pretty quickly... I'm not convinced it's a torque converter issue.. I'm thinking more along the lines of a valve body issue, or sticking Throttle Valve... The hesitation you described could be "flare" where the trans slips when initialy shifting into the next gear as the clutch pack begins to grab. Or it could be just shifting late? I would re-check the throttle cable adjustment first... there is an article I read somewhere that talked about using a line pressure gauge to check the adjustment, and they found there perfectly adjusted tv cable wasn't... Anyway just some thoughts... next time buy a core and let's rebuild it before you pull the trans.. -=Rick |
