Want this question answered?
the torque converter is a lock up, so its like an overdrive. So, change your torque converter and that should solve the problem> Also, check the fuses.
sounds like the torque converter case weld have split. did it happen under a high load application(like a heavy 5th wheel trailer)
Yes, loose converter bolts sound a lot like a failed rod bearing.
Torque converter clutch solenoid
There is no such device as a torque convertor solenoid. There is a transmission control module. There can be any of 100 reasons why the car may stall when put into gear but I do not think it is a transmission problem. It sounds like an engine problem. There are torque converter control solenoids, and if stuck in the wrong position they can keep the lock up clutch engaged which can cause the engine to die when at a stop.
Sounds like torque converter is going bad
sounds like the torque converter is locking up, bring it to a transmission shop.
the torque converter sets in the bellhousing of the transmission. the very front engine facing part of the transmission that is flared out like a bell.
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,,
If you get the P0740 code it means there is a problem with either the torque converter or the control system for the torque converter in your car. It might be such a slight problem that you dont notice anything, or it may be totally undriveable. It depends on what part of the system failed and how badly it failed. To fix it, it can be anything from a simple fluid and filter change (to get debris out of the fluid that might be clogging the solenoid up), or it could be an electrical problem (such as the solenoid, or wiring) or it could be the torque converter itself has failed (which would mean the entire transmission is likely ruined from the debris). It IS definetly a difficult problem to diagnose, and impossible to diagnose without taking anything apart (or at least test driving it with some diagnostic equipment). Starting with the basic (inexpensive) stuff like a fluid flush and filter change and working your way up from there is usually the best way to go, as long as the car is still driveable. Hope that helps!
It could be your torque converter stays locked up and it would act like a standard shift car would if you were coming to a stop without pushing in the clutch pedal.
sounds like t.c.c solenoid.[torque converter clutch solenoid]
