TORQUE CONVERTER PROBLEMS/JUNK???

sgchap3 · January 19, 2007

Ok guys. About 4 months ago I had a Trailblazer stall tq put in and I just had my Avy at the dyno to get it redone and there are big problems with the tq. I purchased it from the guy on Ebay everyone recommended and I didn'tt think there was any wrong with it just needed to be dialed in well I wrong...

It is slipping like crazy and is heating up my transmission way more then it should be and there is clutch dirt in the transmission fluid. My dyno guy knows what he is doing and he showed me the figures and numbers on the screen as he was running the dyno. He couldn't even do a full pull because he was afraid he might damage the transmission...

Now I contacted the guy I got the tq from on Ebay and he said this is the first time he has had a problem ( big surprise ) but really didn't seem to have any answers...

What I'm looking for here is any thoughts, input and or ideas...

I need to get this tq out as soon possible and I don't have the stock one so I'm going to have to get a new one. So my choices are stay with the GM OEM one or a new aftermarket one, also not sure what to do there either.

I've already put out alot of money for this work and it not going to be covered under the warranty...

Let me know guys, thanks

WELL GUYS EVERYTHING CHECKS OUT! THE DEALERSHIP WENT OVER THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION, COOLANT SYSTEM AND MOTOR AND FOUND NOTHING. IN FACT, THEY ALL COMMENTED ON HOW WELL THEY THOUGHT IT WAS RUNNING AND THE ROAD TEST WITH THE SCANNER SHOWED NO PROBLEMS WHAT SO EVER...

THEY ALSO REPLACED THE 02 AND SAID IT LOOKED ALITTLE CORRODED AND MAYBE SOMETHING GOT ON IT SO WE'LL WAIT AND SEE HOW LONG IT HOLDS UP THIS TIME...

NOW WHAT DO I DO ABOUT MY DYNO GUY??? HE THINKS THE TORQUE IS SLIPPING TO MUCH, THE DEALERSHIP SAID "NO SLIPPAGE BUT MAYBE UNDER HARDER CONDITIONS LIKE A DYNO RUN MAYBE IT DOES SLIP SOME"...

WELL I WISH I COULD RUN OUT TO GA QUICK AND HAVE THE TORQUE CONVERTER GUY LOOK AT IT TOO BUT THAT'S A HELL OF A TRIP... LOL
