Hey guys, got a problem with the old XR6, im pretty certain its the torque converter, or i could be wrong.
A couple of days ago i noticed that when i slow/come to a stop or accelerate from a standstill i would get a bit of shuddering/hesitation from the car, it wasnt too bad so didnt think much of it. Now when i have the car in gear with my foot on the brake, im getting some squeeling from around the transmission, it goes away when i put it in park or neutral, and also in gear it goes away once ive picked up speed while driving. Im 85 percent sure i may need a new torque converter, or could it be something else? |

Yep sounds like the bearing is gone . Next up is to start eating find off the turbine & stater once they collide . This happened in my soarer on Xmas eve .
Had to replace the convertor as it grinded hard metal on metal sound . Lucky I shut it off ASAP and no metal was found in the trans or cooler lines !

Just hit 173000 k's, at about 160000 k's I installed a trans cooler and had a transmission flush and service done. i bought the car with about 150000 k's 5 years ago.
Does anyone have a How To, for replacing the torque converter? |
