I'm just wondering, just when does the torque converter "lock up"?
It's been cold here, 12' F. I've kind of noticed it before.
Seems to happen on the First, to Second gear shift. After the first couple of shifts, from a dead stop,it seems to run up to, about 2,100 RPM, then drop to 1,900 RPM, then drop to 1,300- 1,600 rpm. Is the drop from 2,100 to 1,900 RPM is the torque converter "locking up"?,,,,or I do have trany problems?
I ask, because, well, I think I have trany issues.
Six months or so, ago, when getting on the freeway, I wasn't sure if I had a slipping trany or some funky downshift.
You know, roll around the turn easy,,, then hammer down!
A couple of weeks ago, I was cruising along at 35 MPH, then had to give it throttle, to go up a steep hill.
You know, go, slip, go, slip, go, slip,,,,,,downshift,,,,,scream up the hill!
Nope, the trany is slipping!!
Auuuugh
THIRD BLEEPING TRUCK, in a row, with trany issues!
So, now, WHAT do you all propose?
Drive it, till dies?
(Just what does a M-B trany cost to rebuild / replace/ re ---whatever!!)
I want to, but I won't, say what the M-B parts guys say about the wiring harness.
New filter?
Flush it?
Some adjustment, that I don't know about?
This is "my baby", it's my daily driver, I don't have another, (well, not really, sort of, don't want to go there),,,,,Oh, it has a bleeping loan it!
