Hi guys, I?m in trouble and I need your combined knowledge to figure out what?s wrong with my car.
I had to leave my car on a side street in front of my friends house til I can get a tow truck to bring the car home tomorrow morning.
While driving the car this evening I felt a rather harsh thump as I was excelerating from a standing start. As I continued to drive on, I felt a definite loss of power/acceleration. When I approached the next traffic signal, I made a complete stop and the car died suddenly, it felt as if I had hit a brick wall.
Both front wheels locked up tight. I shifted the car into park, it started right up. The moment I shifted into Drive, again the feeling I had hit a brick wall and the car died. The car starts, idles fine until I shift into gear.
The car has been meticulously kept. All service and maintenace always done. This car is extremely clean. Except for normal exterior service, The engine and trans have never been opened. No rebuilds or overhauls here, all factory original.
Possible locked up torque converter?? :?
