As of last night, my truck has been locking up the converter in OD a lot softer than it normally does. I would say it feels about like it did when it was stock. Then today on the way home from work, it kept locking up soft and if I gave it enough throttle, the converter would slip up about 300 rpms.

I checked the fluid but it was rainy and dark, it did look full however and was still pink and didn't smell at all.

What's the deal? (Don't say check the tune, it's been fine for a long time now)

 

The verter is takin a ****

 

Better not be, it's a $700 Circle-D converter

And no I haven't been locking it up WOT or anything you aren't supposed to do with single disc converters.

 

I hope it isn't but sounds like something in it isn't happy..

 

damn! checked you tune lately? could be a tcc lock up solenoid not putting enough pressure to the clutch. or a cracked one like davids...? hope it is nothing serious. call Chase.

 

Already talking with Chase, and I already sent an email to Chris @ Circle-D.

Do you guys think I should disable lockup until I figure it out? Chase things the clutch in the converter is burnt up, or the tranny is slipping.

Any other thoughts?

 

^^^^ He said the same things to me when mine did that, and I even bought another converter. Ended up being the TCC lockup solenoid...

 

Gimme a call if you're not busy

 

what were your tranny temps during all of this? was the tranny a little hotter than normal?

 

Tranny temps were normal, 120ish range.
