1992 700r4 transmission torque converter slips in and out past od,Is this a selenoid problem?

I have a 1992 2500 Chevrolet pickup with a 6.2l backed by a 700r4 transmission. When the trans shifts past od to lockup the torque converter it slips in and out,I have read up some about a solenoid inside the pan.When I bought this truck 3 months ago the guy had unplugged the wire to this selenoid,I plugged it back in and it shifts fine most of the time only at about speeds of 40 to 50 mph does it act up.At 55 or 60 mph.It does allright.Do I need to just change this solenoid to fix the problem.{With the wire unplugged it shifts out ok}.

Probably why the wire was disconnected in the first place
talking with an accredited transmission specialist shop will give you clues as to if the solenoid replacement will fix the fault before you splash the cash

SOURCE: Chevrolet 2500 Not Running, May Be Fuel Filter Sensor

That red wire is only for the fuel heater.will not cause a no start.try pumping the primer pump on top of the fuel flter hsg. but first open the bleed screw,which is black plastic also located on the top.this will eliminate any trapped air that might have entered the fuel intake system.if the pump does not get firmer and harder to push, then you have a leak in the fuel supply lines or the ck valves in the fuel filter hsg or stuck open. Still no start have it scanned to ck fuel pressure while cranking.it should be close to 5000 lbs

SOURCE: 4L60E slipping and not locking up

Very well could be taht the Computer is not recieving the Shift codes Correctly. Just for an Easy Solution, Remove the ECM Fuse from the Fuse panel for 2 or 3 Minutes to Reset the Computer and let me know what you get.

The EMC detected and problem so it's in limp mode, As long as it's in limp mode the 4th and OD will not activate. Take care not to burn up the transmission by running it hard while your in the limp mode.
Your going to have to get the truck scanned to clear any codes and why there are DTC codes. Auto Zone scan for free and most auto shops charge $10.00 to $20.00 to scan sine they want the business.
If you want to clear the codes your self you can put the ignition to the run position and pull the ECM (Batt) fuse out for 20 sec and place it back in then start the truck. It may stall but let it, just start it again and this would have cleared all the DTC code history.
The transmission should be running fine unless there is a problem and the service engine light will be on again and you'll be in limp mode still with an updated DTC in the ECM.
Good luck and hope this helps.

Engine light code says gear 4 out of ratio. I was told it was the OD going out. Do I have to replace the entire transmission, or can I just have the OD fixed?

Overdrive is actually inside the torque converter. Look at the transmission control module. Have it tested for proper operation first. There is a solenoid inside the transmission on the valve body that the module operated. Since you didn't get a fail on the solenoid, the OD clutches may be worn enough to slip. No need to replace the entire transmission, just the torque converter.

05 avalanche 1500 slips out of od while at hwy speeds let off throttle sometimes it goes back in

it could be a mess to know what is the problem
to know take down the shifter to D3 if RPM go up then you know it was in fourth gear . it is more likely the torque converter solenoid or the torque converter clutch itself
hope it helps

Bad torque converter

You are expecting a lot from a torque converter to full 2.5 tons at 60 mph. The converter will be a standard unit and will experience considerable slip under these conditions .Run fault codes to ensure that the converter clutch is operational. Talk to an auto transmission shop about a heavy duty converter that is more suited to the job.

Transmission slips in d &od with steam in cab

transmission slipping could be low transmission fluid level or need a transmission fluid and filter change.if transmission fluid was real low check for transmission fluid leaks around transmission oil pan gasket or fluid leaks around cooler lines or torque converter shaft seal. if you getting steam inside cab.your heater core is leaking.if transmission fluid level okay and filter been changed could have faulty over drive switch.

2001 mazda 626 code p1744

P1744 - Torque Converter Clutch System Stuck in Off Position.

Either way the problem points to an internal transmission problem.
1. Drive it and see if the codes come back, and see if it is slipping in overdrive.

2. Check the transmission pressure in drive, with the overdrive on and the transmission slipping.

These transmissions have a high failure rate. Have seen internal transmission slippage that showed up in drive with the Overdrive (OD) switch on, but not with the OD switched off. It was related to the coasting clutch being on and off in that range. In that case, there was an internal mechanical transmission problem. We recommend a rebuilt transmission from the dealer and an external transmission cooler - the new rebuilt transmission will last longer.

Good luck (remember to rate this free answer).

I have a 96 s10 2.2 and the transmission is slipping when its in 4th gear i changed the fluid and filter and it helped but it came back any ideas

Hi! Replacing the fuel and filter was a good idea but I do believe that the transmission's torque converter is worn. The torque converter controls the up and down shifting of the car that if it's faulty the transmission can slip. Have it replaced and you'll be good. Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa!

Transmission started slipping in final drive.

I am a ford tech and once this transmission starts slipping in OD u are going to need an overhaul, changing the fluid won't correct the problem.

Slipping transmission

It just needs serviced. It could be Loose bands or just need adjustments and a Torque converter needing service. If the fluid level is good when checked then take it to a transmission shop and have it checked. It could be something as simple as a Fluid change and Filter replacement.
