i just came across this.

Signs of a Bad Torque Converter | eHow.com

any truth behind it?

is yours having issues?

[gTeran1]

yes,i dont know if its the tc though,im trying to rule it out

[skeet]

its a possibilty but a trans can give the same issues. i would first drop the pan and see what it looks like, like having clutch dust or burnt fluid, hows the fluid anyway ?

the trany has less then 1,000 miles on it since rebuilt.it was rebuilt with everything new. when the builder built it it would rev-then shift. he put two diff trannys in the truck and they both did the same thing.the only same part it had was the tc.....

i just really hope its the tc.cause i dont wanna drop the tranny,put a tc and put the tranny back in and it not be the problem

How many miles does that tc you reused have? If it feels like its slipping out and the end of the shift its most likely the tc
