torque converter time!?
hey guys i need some help on this one, on the way to work today i had my first encounter with a slipping clutch in this truck. the TC locks at 36 and i drive in that the majority of the time, i take it easy ont he truck but i do get on it just like every one else, it only sliped when the tc is locked and i only let it happen 1 other time than the first time just to make sure that it was slipping and not just a fluke. no shuddering or anything, no flashing OD either, what do you guys think, does this deffinetlly sound like a torque converter?im full time in school and dont have much more than 600$ to work with, i finally got the money for my stack kit and now i cant use it for that FML! any suggestions on what to buy for a TC and will i smoke my tranny by driving like an old bitty around town?my dad is convinced that if i bring the truck in and have a full system flush with some good fluid that i will be fine for now, what do you think?thanks guys, any input will help!
