What can you use to flush a torque converter?
It has to be done on a machine. just putting fluid through it doesn't work. If the torque converter is still in the car you can check for a drain plug and drain it, refill it and run it to circulate new fluid and then redrain and refill. If there is no drain plug you can drill a hole and tap into the case to put a small pipe plug back in. Many of the aftermarket people do this.AnswerYep, then have rebalanced
How do you completely drain automatic transmission?
if it is in the car just drop the oil pan and let it drain. Except you will still have 2 to 3 pints of fluid in the torque converter. Check with a new car dealer who sells your model car and ask if the converter has a drain plug. If not you will have to drop the tranny to remove the converter and drain it. A less costly and quicker fix would be to change the fluid and the filter then run the car for a few miles, 10 or 20 should do it, then change oil and filter again, that should dilute any bad fluid from the converter.

the TCC,, torque converter clutch,,,, used on tree speed transmission in the 80's GM and on 4 speed automatics, the solenoid reads the speed of the transmission (car) and sends the signal to the computer which identifies that the car has reached proper crusing speed and is not under heavey load (full throttle) it then "locK" the torque converter to not allow any slippage like a standard automatic torque converter, basically making the torque converter act like a clutch,,, thus the name TCC torque converter clutch hope that helps,,
