No they arent.
Faulty torque converter clutch solenoid valve Torque converter clutch solenoid valve harness is open or shorted Torque converter clutch solenoid valve circuit poor electrical connection Low transmission fluid level Dirty transmission fluid Could be a problem with the harness to the Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) solenoid, the TCC solenoid connector or the TCC solenoid it self.
Inside the transmission.
It is inside of the transmission.
Torque Converter Control Solenoid. It controls the lockup clutch in the torque converter, when it malfunctions the clutch can fail to engage or disengage properly causing shuddering at speed and stalling at idle. It is found inside the transmission as part of the valve body.
The lock up clutch is inside the torque converter. The solenoid is on the valve body in the transmission. The wiring runs from the engine computer to the transmission.
If the vehicle has an automatic transmission, then the torque converter clutch is probably sticking. The clutch is controlled by a solenoid, that moves it back and fourth. The clutch material can get stuck to the inside of the converter and stall the engine. Have the transmission flushed, and if the problem persists, then have the solenoid replaced.
the solinoids are located in the valve body. it in inside the transmission pan.
The PowerGlide is a very primitive transmision by todays standards. It does not have a Torque Converter clutch. So there is no control for it.
Transmission Lock-Up Control System Fault. Can be caused by:Low transmission fluid levelDirty transmission fluidFaulty torque converter cluth solenoid valveTorque converter clutch solenoid valve harness open or shortedTorque converter clutch solenoid valve circuit poor electrical connectionCan also be overheating torque converter due to insufficent flow to the torque converter release cirsuit.When the accelerator pedal is depressed (less than 2/8) in lock-up condition, the engine speed should not change abruptly. If there is a big jump in engine speed, there is no lock-up.
Transmission problems can result in costly repair costs. The most common transmission problems are leaks and problems with the torque converter, solenoid or clutch.
Assuming your car has an automatic transmission, it could be the TCC (Torque Converter Clutch) solenoid.
