Torque Converter in the new VR-4 gave in yesterday,1st time iv EVER blown a box, pulled out of intersection gave gas and noticed a sort of airey light whine and was losing power up the hill,free wheeled over and down.
pulled over and hit reverse,nothing,hit forward,nothing so i diagnosed it was the T/C,correct me if im wrong,but thats what iv come to know..
Had a spre at Geartech tho.. so shud be up and running soon,but might want to replace the used 1 now,cost $220 to recon ,but might be someone out there with a good 1 for less,hit me up tho if you do...
