Subject: Re: Signs of a bad torque converter? by Matatk on 2012/3/7 23:24:44 So I was paying attention this afternoon while driving. Car cold, immediately after starting. 1-2 shift was still fine. It did shift in to 3rd at around 17 mph or so. It banged hard. Usually does when it's cold. After it's in 3rd, that's when it feels like it's slipping. The car noticeably slows in acceleration while the rpms climb faster. This is usually under 2000 rpm because I don't want to beat on it when it's cold. It feels like it's much harder to accelerate, like the car is working more. Also, when I downshift from 3rd to 2nd without bringing up the revs over 2500 or so it bangs hard. So now I'm thinking it has something to do with the 3rd gear clutch. Problem is I don't know how it works....lol. Anyone have a crash course on the clutch assemblies and how they work in the 700r4?
