Torque converter problem?

Feb 04, 2004 1 Replies

Hi all,



more and more often I am experiencing the following problem: As soon I shift the transmission into the Park position, the engine dies. After that, it does start again, but I have to try many times until I get the car into "D". It dies several times, as soon as I want to shift. It is a Ford Taurus with automatic transmission. Once it moves, then it usually shifts somehow smoothly. That's why I thought that maybe some component in the torque converter is plugged. ( A pumnp maybe?) My question is: Would the flushing of the transmission include a cleaning of the torque converter? Do you think that it would bring some improvement? As usual, thank you kindly for your hints and advice.



Regards,



tito



The torque converter lock-up circuit is engaged, maybe needs a new switch/solenoid or whatever ford uses.
