Re: torque converter
what are the symptoms of a torque converter?
But I'm guessing you're REALLY asking, what are the symptoms of a torque converter FAILURE. In which case, usually it's strange noises, or metal in the fluid. Or in the case of a lockup one, failure to lock up.
And what can cause it to fail?

Re: torque converter
ok, then I am not on this problem, in fact, I have a problem on downshifting on 2-1, with a little clunking or bump or litle jump(sorry for the term I am french), only in D, in OD no problem !
For example when I arrive at a stop, when I brake gently => problem detected and if I brake hard, it is not detected....
I have changed the mount trans, yokes are good...check the tv cable, flush fluid trans........ where could this come from? Gouvernor ?

Re: torque converter
Perhaps a problem resolved after 1987 on the TH700R4 ? I don't know the evolution of TH700R4 ...

Re: torque converter
Ah ok "the over run clutch" is engaged only on D and not in OD ?
Yes newer transmissions had more refined valve and fluid passage control of things, improving all of that. The 4L60E and 4L65E use the same clutch arrangement, and similar refinements continued during its production run as well.

Re: torque converter
ok thank for your detailed feedback ! .. and a new adjustment of the cable TV will not correct this sensation ?
I have already done but that never change anything ... with minimal adjustment only because I know, it can be dangerous... for transmission
