Well they replaced the torque converter but didn't have the new solenoid block and its still slipping. If I get on it hard in 1st gear it slips at higher rooms and shudders when it locks. He said there was fluid in the connector when they took it off so hes going to replace it Monday or Tuesday. I hope its just the solenoid. Im not too happy. I hope the transmission isn't shot
