4r100 problem
I posted under transmission also but need some quick ideas. I am sitting at a campground in Idaho. I stopped for lunch and when I got back in and started up the road my torque converter won't lockup. It shifts fine from 1st to 2nd to 3rd but I have to get some speed up and let up to get into 4th. When going down hill it free wheels with no tranny lockup.The transmisson doesn't slip and shifts solid. When I push the overdrive swith it seem to change but not much. I am trying to decide to drive to a transmission shop or have it towed. I can do around 55 fine. Any help appreciated

First thought and I dont know if it is the cause but high mount third brake light out? First thing I can think of, as well as try unplugging the EBPS or clean the tube and sensor if you have the means. Hopefully someone will post with a better understanding to help troubleshoot.

A common failure that will cause these symptoms is a failure of the coast clutch or overdrive clutch snap ring. When either of those snap rings fail that clutch can't apply.
You changed a torque converter to try to fix a no overdrive problem? I'd love to understand the reasoning behind that.

4R100 Idiot
Sounds like a snap ring is a whole lot cheaper than what i have already replaced. If a snap ring does repair, I will still have made all repairs for less than what a reman unit would cost. I guess this is a partial payment in my continuing education.
Thank you for your help!
