Automatic Transmission Problem (Torque Converter) Help!!!

[Billabong01]

Hi Guys,
I brought my car (Spacewagon 97 local) to a service shop for tranny overhaul after series of oil change and even filter replacement (2x) did nothing to solve the problem on my tranny. Here's what bogging my tranny:

- sudden jerking (like shock and thug) while running at speed >100, then the speed biglang baba pero your rpm mataas. Hindi synchronized.
- pag galing sa mabilis then to full stop (kapag nasa toll gate na), at aarangkada na, di tumataas ang speed (pako sya sa 30 kph) kahit na yung rpm e nasa 4-5k na before it shifts to a higher gear.
- pag release naman ng gas, biglang jerk na naman kahit mabagal na takbo.

Now, when I brought my car to the srevice shop sabi ng mechanic e, clutch and band problem daw, so pinalitan ng repair kit (PhP 18K kasama labor). Kaso wala pa ring nangyari, now sabi nya yung torque converter na raw ang may problema. So i ask him magkano sabi nya 70K kung bago pag surplus naman e * 10-25K. dinala ko muna sasakyan ko, pero di ko na ginagamit panglong-drive dahil dun lumalabas problema nya pag medyo mainit na sa loob.
Sa mga may alam ng Auto Tranny, based dun sa problem na sinabi ko, is it possible na torque converter nga problem, o may iba pa ba? Ayoko naman bumili ng surplus kasi nasimulan ng i-overhaul at sayang naman ang parts na nagamit. Please help!!!

70k for a new torque conv is a big joke he he. ng pina service mo ba trans mo band lang ang pinalitan, how about the clutches, plates , seals. etc? i'm not familiar with your tranny but i can tell you it's not likely a torque converter problem. if you want to check it yourself try this: with your left foot on the brake (press hard), set parking brake, put gear in drive (press the brake harder to prevent veh movement) then with your right foot press the accelerator hard and look at the engine rpm if if doesnt go beyond 1800 to 2200 rpm then the torque conv is still good. one more thing a failed (stuck) torque converter will stall the engine.

does your ride already have the tranny cable(kickdown cable)?

it's a another cable connected from the gas pedal cable. likely to be wrapped in orange rubber...

bro, malamang electronic na din yan like may galant

bro, malamang electronic na din yan like may galant

could be electronic combined with a kickdown cable. kickdown cables are still currently in use up to 2002 afaik.

you're better off buying a whole tranny for the amount he is charging you.

pwede ring torque converter ang problema ng kotse mo,pero ang tanong,nagperform ba sila ng pressure test? solenoid resistance test? anong resulta sa test? nagmatch ba sa specs? ito dapat ang pinaka unang ginawa nila at dapat ito ay documented,para ipakita sa iyo kung ano muna ang ginawa nila bago nila sabihin sa iyo na torque converter ang problema.

may namensyon kung paano ka magtest ng torque converter kung ito ay sira o hindi,para sa electronic controlled trans lang ito at palagay yun ang sa iyo.pwede mong gawin yung kaninang nabanggit at pwede mo rin gawin ito,

set mo ang parking brake,at hindi ako sure kung 10 or 12 way connector going transmission case or trans top cover at idisconnect mo yan,start ang makina,at idle lang at shift mo sa drive,kung magstall sya,possible torque converter na nga yan.remember disconnect muna bago start.
