Accurate, informative, straight to the point! Thank you good sir!

Great information. Lexus IS250 has had these symptoms for over 3 years. I knew it was the torque converter but I didn’t realize fixing it could save my transmission. Thanks

Thank you so much I did not know that the torque converter will actually go bad, thanks

I'm here because I've spent a year trying to find my shudder . Thank you

Quick and understandable. 😊

Dude, what a great video! Thank you. 🙏🏽

Excellent Sir thanks for the info

I have a rebuilt transmission with new seals on my 2004 Honda accord2.4 ex I noticed two year ago it started leaking under somewhere either from the driver axle seal or from that last part u spoken about at the end of the video ,and all I do is just make sure to try and top it off whenever I’m low

You literally just described all my issues (minus code). Thank you!

I appreciate the video on torque converter. Learning new things different day. Have a good one sir 💪😎✌️

Very well explained

UM TUNED IN,,,THANKS FOR THE KNOWLEDGE

Yes very useful thank you

Very good information

These models gm trucks have these common problem of torque converter getting shot. They have a design flaw for the torque converter. Our 2018 chevy silverado torque converter went out at 120k miles. We chose to rebuilt it. The transmission specialist shop replaced it with an aftermarket redesigned torque convertor and also installed a separate cooler just for the transmission to extend the life of the tranny because these gm models also have these problem of overheating tranny fluid. Hopefully this fixes the problem. Listen to Scotty Kilmer and get a Toyota. Our 2006 Toyota camry has 370k miles with the original engine and tranny.

Nicely done! A friend thinks he has a TC shudder, we'll give the gas/brake pedal test a try. Thanks!

Thanks boss

Mine is whining like it's mixing frozen margaritas. Shuttering like it freezing to death. This is the 2nd transmission on this truck with 245,000 miles on the torque converter and only 57k on the transmission. Still need to confirm by my mechanic and pray it's only the TC. That I can afford. New transmission, not so much!

The brake while driving unlocks the torque converter. It technically can work if you cut a wire.

Oh that’s why I have shudder at 40-50mph. Thought I had bad prop bearing but they are fine

Mine is a chrysler 300c and shutters just like youve described but its equipped with mds system and when I accelerate to brake it goes away but because the mds turns off at that same time I can't tell if it's the tcc or the mds causing the shutter. Also it turns off when in liw speeds or in parked can a torque converter cause the car to turn off when parked?

Hoping you can help.... I have a 2007 5.9 liter dodge diesel with 76k miles on it, and when dropping the trans fluid from the pan and replacing it it levels out to about 5 quarts or so. However, when leaving my truck parked for an extended period of time, say two to three weeks the trans dipstick goes from just enough trans fluid to way above the hashmark max setting. Say about 1.5 quarts or so. Could be a tad less. This is only happens when the truck is sitting for an extended period of time. I've been told that one will get some additional transmission fluid in the pan from things like the torque converter etc when sitting but it just doesn't make sense. Now, when I drive it, it drives fine then when I check the trans fluid at around 160 degrees F it doesn't even read on the stick. I then read somewhere that the trans fluid needs to reach about 180 degrees before you check the trans fluid in neutral for that make and model. At this point, I simply don't know if the amount of trans fluid is correct or not or if there is additional trans fluid which does drop into my existing pan is normal. thanks.

That happened to me 2 1/2 yrs ago. Had it rebuilt (2000 Chevy impala). I’m 65 but the shuttering started all over again. Was about 15000 miles away from needling tires - was hopeful- then alignment- still hopeful- then rebalance of tires- lost hope. It’s shuddering. Will try the brake /gas test but I have no hope lol Time for a “new” used car. But I still want this fixed but dang the cost….

it was thank you

My 2010 nissan altima v6 has a cvt it had p0744, p0740, p0725 but also a p0826 up and down switch input circuit. And. On the test i did at autozone it said tcc solenoid valve function was the issue as a secondary dtc. And that the electrical circuit was intermittent for a predetermined period of time. I checked my valve body. I did a drain and fill and then another full drain with pan drop and put in the correct amount of fluid and properly measured this second time around. I checked the valve body i did an ohm resistance test on the torque converter solenoids as well as the shifter solenoids and compared them with a brand new but incorrect solenoid and all the ohms resistances came back correctly for my model. Universal nissan tells me that i need a new torque converter. I imagine this is what i am going to take my car to a regular transmission shop so that they can do this job and fix it. What do you say? Also there was a shuddering just before my car broke down. I was in drive and the car shuddered as it started to get up to speed. After that the car was essentially feeling like its in neutral. Because its cvt the computer does not let the car rev past 1500 rpms at most. And i get sort of chatter noise sometime but not everytime. Like zzzzz sound but it goes away. It only happens when i leave the car sitting and the fluid apparently drains out into the transmission itself. There were seemingly not shavings but things stuck to the magnets at the bottom of the drain pan which could be from the torque converter failure. Thankfully i think the transmission is fine but if this car gets fixed i plan on selling it anyway so i can purchase a manual vehicle which i know will have way less complexity when it comes to diagnosis of why it doesnt drive.

Like the video, Well mine just have the seal in the transmission torque replace because it was leaking oil , but after the replacement still leaking oil from the same spot , any ideas ? Thanks

I have a 2005 Chevy Colorado 4x4 with 265k miles on it. It slips out of 4th gear under mild to hard acceleration. Is a bad torque converter a likely problem or is this more commonly a transmission issue?

I just engine swapped an older car with a 350 , it would do a burnout at first , but it won’t do them anymore , not sure if it is my engine or torque converter.

Hi sir I do have 2014 bmw 328i my transmission making whining noise do you think changing fluid and filter could fix the issue ? It does change gears smooth no slip or grinding noise since I hear the noise I don’t drive aggressive

What does hitting the breaks do though? Does it disengage the lock up?

Hello, I have a Renault Fluence 2.0 16v that uses Jet CVT. I've searched several places and found nothing about. I have a pocket obd2 scanner and I do not have any type of DTC, but my car on very steep climbs, simply decouples the torque converter and the engine speed remains high, but because the engine and CVT are decoupled, enters the Engine Brake, lowering the speed quickly. When the converter couples again, there is a kind of "slingshot effect", precisely because the rotation of the CVT and the Motor are different. Have you ever seen something like this? Notes: I notice shaking, "iron dragging" noises and the like.

I recently took an '07 Mercury Montego w/ ~160k miles to the Ford dealership for a misfire issue. I thought the misfire was throwing the car into limp, because we couldn't get the car to go over 15-20mph. A week and a half and $600 later, the dealership replaced 2 coils and a plug, the check engine light went off, and the car started and ran smooth. We didn't even make the 10 minute drive home before it was dead on the side of the road; worse than when we took it to them. The first thing the dude said when I called was that they think the torque converter is overheating and locking up..? Yet, they said the transmission had a little too much fluid in it and THEY drained some fluid to put it back to "normal." That was the first time an issue with the torque converter was ever mentioned but they said it like they knew it might be an issue? But they only told me AFTER I paid for the other job..? Now the car starts and immediately bogs down and dies.... Does this sound like the torque converter..? It's an old car so it's hard to tell what every rattle and noise is. Lol

Hello, I have a problem with Hyundai Tucson 2005 diesel 113hp with torque converter. When I accelerate and the engine revs increase, a strange noise is heard while driving, on the right side of the engine (it sounds like some blankets with water that are half filled and are being moved). When the revs increase and subsequently the speed, that sound is no longer heard . Have you encountered such a situation or can you give me some advice please? The mechanic would think that maybe the injectors are not giving pressure and could be coming from the engine, I am confused.

My Toyota Darango camper-van 4 sp auto struggles up steep hill in first? the rpm remains steady but comes to a crawl.

You are here because the mechanic told you that your transmission torque converter is bad. 😅

Exactly the symptoms I was having until I lost all power to the transmission so I'm really hoping that's the cause!

Leaking governor case or gasket?

What is the average repair cost for. t orque converter?

Hi.. I have a bmw 5 series..it only does this (vibrates) when I’m pulling away from a stop.. transmission does not slip.. It always feels like it’s coming from inside the glove box.. when you accelerate 40 or 50 does not vibrate. Change just about everything on the front passenger side does it?

Shudder can also be bad spark plugs. Very similar symptoms.

I feel i just got ripped off by dealer with this issue by taking it to them and then claiming because no engine code light was on they can’t narrow don’t the issue?? So they know it shudders but then they say the warranty won’t cover two repairs related to the issue. Dealers says it could be converter or another transmission issue but only one will get covered and I’m to keep driving til a light comes on oh and after all of that i had to pay a $959 charge for the transmission service not covered. So now I’m Back to driving a jeep doing the same issue.

Question, can a torque converter just fail and make it where the vehicle can no longer go into any gear

My replacement transmission is doing this ,But no codes,on my 2011gmc 2500hd

Is there a way to know that it's bad when it's out of the vehicle?

6L-80 on 2013 Chevrolet tahoe. Replaced fluid and filter, torque converter, valve body, solenoids, and tcm still getting p0741 code. Could it be the pump or tcc valve?

What about when i drive and i switch to N there's a vibration but if i press the gas pedal it disappears, could be this the unbalanced n47 engine vibration or the converter ???!!

My 04 f150 has literally every symptom lol, it barely rolls under it’s own power now it slips bad haha. I needa get down there and change that thing in a couple weeks when it starts cooling down some

I'm struggling with my Isuzu ELF 3Tone truck, the torque converter seal keeps on letting the oil down. I have changed it many times but the problem still comes. What could be the reason that's causing it?

I have a Mazda demio 1998 automatic transmission the mechanic did an engine overhaul now it wont engage into any gear changed the pump still not circulation of the transmission oil please help

Thank you for your videos are very helpful. I have a question. I have a 99 Ford F350 diesel engine that it seems like the engine is locked doesn’t turn. It’s not Hydro locked. Could the torque converter be locked not turning and essentially make it like the engine is seized. How can I determine if the torque converter is seized?

How many litres of transmission fluid we fill in the torque converter

Hi there I have a problem with my 2015 GMC Acadia when I'm driving 20 to 30mp feels vibration my mechanic said transmission valve body but I'm not sure I don't want to spend money for nothing don't have no codes

Question. I am hearing a clanging sound when I turn the car left and it’s driving 5 mph. When I do a u turn left . I hear the clanging at 5 mph only. Is this the torque converter

Could a bad trans also have a smell of like driving with the emergency brake on? That brake pad smell?

Im not getting any codes my car ran fine earlier got food went to doctor appointment and got gas was driving like 20-30 minutes when I got home It started bogging ahuddering and cutoff I turned it on wngine is fine In Park And Neutral but when I put it in Drive or Reverse it cuts off like something isnt letting it go into gear

Hi I have a Ford Escape 2007 and suddenly overdrive started flashing my car did not change the gear so I replaced the band I thought it was gonna fix the problem but after installation and testing it does not shift anymore I need help if you can guide me

My check engine is on P0741 but I dont notice anything wrong while driving it, is it a serious issue or just a faulty tcc valve

My cars stuck in first, whining, and pops out of gear when it gets hot. Is this the torque converter

So my vehicle doesn't shudder until i stop completely and hold the brake. Is that the same?

The shaking could also be the Motor mounts I will check them. Putting the car in reverse with the brake on. And then drive. Have someone watch the engine.

For some reason my message disappeared. At over 70 Mph our car has begun to shutter as you describe. Mechanic says its Torque Convertor. But we also noticed a kick in shifting as well like when approaching an intersection rolling expecting to stop but instead we press the gas to accelerate and occasionally there is a bump which I think is slipping. Main question as Ive seen your video over and over. Since the transmission is coming down anyway to put in rebuilt Torque Convertor should the Transmission also be rebuilt ? The car Land Rover LR3 with ZF Transmission has 215,000 Miles on it in New Jersey with a lot of stop and go. Thank you

Could shudder at a stop light with foot on brake be TC? Assuming new motor mounts are installed

i have a nissan sentra 2016 stalls in drive and reverse i scanned it with a good scanner no dtcs on transmission or engine i took the transmission out and open the transmission everything looks fine but i noticed when i put the input shaft that spins the impeller theres no movement like its stuck or siezed is that normal but the stator spins nicely and i did notice metal shavings in the bell housing below the input shaft let me know

Hi I just recently started hearing that whirring/whining noise when I start to accelerate from a stop it's when I started to notice my car doesn't accelerate like before. Could this be happening to my car?? Yes also slipping gears.

I have a 08 Ford Edge mine has no codes but shutters if Accelerate hard from stop to go or at times when it drops from 60-40 but a tap of the gas it stops plz help

My 1992 Lincoln town car slips when it’s cold. (Ford AOD) If I don’t let my car warm up for at least 10 minutes, when I first go into gear everything will seem fine until I come to the first stop, then it seems to neutral out and stops moving, if I bring the RPM up it’ll jump back into gear. Only happens on the first time I stop, when it’s cold. If I let her warm up it’s fine. No slippage at all when it’s warm, but hard shifts. Fluid is topped off, so that’s not the issue. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. 1992 with 154,000

Hi, I have 95 impala ss 4L60 e transmission. The trans shift all 4 gears. passing gear. the problem im having is there no low end torque it bogs out when it to floor. Could the torque converter be bad thank for your time
