Not the TCC

[hpfire7227]

just a follow up to my last post...it seemed the general consensus was that my problem was the torque converter clutch going bad.(Violent 'skips' at speed, usually under load). Well, I figured before I go unplugging anything, a routine tune up was in order...I found my #4 plug to be holding on by a single thread, it pretty much fell out when I pulled the wire off. Did the whole tune up and voila...problem solved. Maybe the compression loss was causing the bucking? Oh well. Just wanted to post a reminder to always check the small stuff first. Thanks for all the suggestions though, much appreciated.

Glad to hear that and you make an awesome point. We sometimes get so caught up in the "oh-sh**" stuff that we forget about the simple READ:Cheap stuff!

I do recall reading an article about unplugging the lock up connection in a rag a while back. You may want to do that if you have any kind of a problem in the future. I think someone mentioned how the whole thing may grenade if it goes on for too long. If I remember correctly, I read that in the article as well.

Happy Trails!
