shudder after tourqe converter locks up
- Thread starter DIESELMAFIAPER.LB7
- Start date
do u have a two piece drive shaft with a carrier cause if so the shudder is most likely the carrier bearing from a poor angle on the driveshaft i experience this all the time with my lb7 it is a crew cab long bed and for a while i thought it was the tranny only to find it was the carrier bearing

Watch the PWM apply. It will come on in 3 or 4 stages. Once you see 96-97% apply you are locked. Once locked, roll into the throttle short of downshift and see what the slip speed is. It better be 0.
Yep sure am What else would we do other then keep at itwhat's up #1?? u at it again
Team Timex in the house
An Mike I will try an get ahold of a tech 2 an see what I can find out
Thanks fyr That tips :thumb:
After my torque converter locks up, I see about -10 to 50 RPM slip at high throttle (-10 to 10 at low/no throttle). Does this count as zero? (Or, how much is normal?)
Worth noting: I don't feel anything unusual with that amount of slip.
Thanks!

Do you mean -10 to +50? If you do, your converter clutch is breaking loose. I believe anything over +30 rpm slip is not acceptable. A good working converter will never see over +10.
I was afraid of that... It's better when I'm not towing, but still out of spec.
Do you know a good transmission builder in California? :spit: I'll have to give you a call in a month or so when I have some money. I was hoping this day would have been farther off, but with 200,000+ miles above stock power, I don't know what I was expecting.
Thanks,

Ha I'm retarded didn't read Dave's post right an Still waiting to get a tech 2 on mine
