Transmission Hi again,took my 95 Ford E150 van to transmission shop,Aatco in Reading,Ohio.Mechanic told us torque convertor clutch is shot,not supplying enough fluid to 1st and 2nd gear.Said transmission is an E4od style,more so a larger truck transmission.Wants $1900.00 for repairs!Does this amount seem reasonable?I told him I thought price was too high,he said it was very fair.Brought it back home for now.Can anyone recommend another transmission shop for 2nd opinion?Would really appreciate help!Thanks,Deb

The switches inside need to be replaced they are hanging up do this now before you ruin the clutches it will go back to normal shifting and work fine change all pressure torque lockup and shift switches diy for about 125.00 with fluid filter cost and back to normal shifting and a happy van and crew make sure vans not running hot burning fluid otherwise will happen again high temp burned fluid damages switches ability to work

If it is a torque converter clutch solenoid (or tcc solenoid). You do NOT need a new transmission or transmission rebuild. You just need to replace the TCC solenoid.

If the check engine light came on and the code was torque convertor they did not do you any favor,The torque convertor is the heart of the transmission,the cost as for part is twice your monthly payment.The torque convertor as for honda claims their recommended transmission fluid is not being used and causing torque convertor problem,Recheck the code get the number.

ISSUE
Some vehicles with transmissions built prior to 11/13/95 (5L13) may exhibit a driveline resonance/vibration between 1400 and 2000 RPM with the torque convertor engaged. This may be caused by the torque converter.
ACTION
Prior to torque converter replacement, refer to the following Service Procedure for details to verify conditions.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Verify the resonance/vibration does not occur in neutral and is most noticeable between 1400 and 2000 RPM with the converter clutch engaged during medium to heavy throttle conditions. Also watch for the vibration to diminish at engine speeds lower than 1400 and higher than 2000 RPM. If the concern meets all of these conditions and the transmission has a built date prior to 11/13/95 (5L13), replace the torque converter. Refer to the appropriate Service Manual for removal and installation procedures.
2. If the vibration concerns do not meet the conditions, check for non-factory installed items that could affect driveline and verify proper installation. Also refer to the appropriate Service Manual, Section 05-00 for diagnosis and testing.

Have you checked the transmission fluid? just make sure that when you check it, the engine is running

Front transmission pump.For a Chevy S10 its located behind the torque convertor,This pump supplies the torque convertor and it service as a pressure supply system, Just because the pump is in the immediate area it does wear out and develops gaps and is unable to supply transmission fluid to the system. When the transmission warms up the fluid thins out.Sitting for 5 minutes allow the fluid to cool just enough to run again
P.sthis remind me of what happen to me I stuck on the side of the road ,half mile and took 2 hours to drive back

tignten the cap bolts evenly to 25 foot pounds

Sorry!,..More than likely the front seal of the transmission has actually cut a groove into the torque convertor neck.I have seen these hundreds of times, when the van is hot the seal wont hold the fluid pressure behind it and trans fluid will leak past...also the lines/hoses are on the side of this transmission..the vent is located on top of this trans near the main connector,.not in the front(Ax4n).,, seriously go to an accredited trans shop only for this repairATRA......again sorry for the bad new..Bob Stinson

this is a problem with your transmission. You need to get it fixed very fast.
