Signs and Symptoms of a Bad Torque Converter

Torque converter

What are the signs of a bad torque converter? Slipping out of gear is a common sign of a bad torque converter. Other symptoms of a bad torque converter can include clunking and shuddering, and even humming or whirring. These symptoms can indicate not only a torque converter failure, but they may also be signs of other transmission problems.


Here are a Few Common Signs of a Bad Torque Converter:

·Your vehicle is slipping out of gear

·Your vehicle is overheating

·You feel a clunking or shuddering

·You hear a humming or whirring

·Your transmission has dirty transmission fluid


Replacing old or dirty transmission fluid is a simple fix, but when it is not changed regularly it can result in many major types of transmission problems. We recommend checking your transmission as often as monthly to catch any signs of dirty transmission fluid. Foul-smelling transmission fluid or opaque in color can be a symptom of a bad torque converter.

Faulty torque converters can severely damage your transmission if left untreated. Oftentimes, the damage can be caused by excessive friction. Excessive friction can negatively affect the torque converter. Faulty parts in the transmission, such as faulty seals or clutch solenoids can be the blame for a bad torque converter.

If you suspect that you have a torque converter failure, bring your vehicle to a transmission shop to get it diagnosed. Transmission shops have the latest technology to diagnose and resolve any transmission problem. At Eagle Transmission Repair , our professional transmission technicians can help resolve your transmission issues and get your vehicle back to optimal condition.
