Awesome, thanks everyone! My first attempt will be to try the lube guard shudder fix (red) tube.
A tranny builder specialist told me the following via an email discussion
no test drive)
The Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) is “shuddering” causing the entire “driveline” to “clang” very rapidly, ... appearing to sound as if it is “grinding.”
The Torque Converter Lock-up Clutch is worn out.
Guys, real dumb question here:
"Is the lock-up clutch and tcc clutch the same thing?" Assume so.
So is this "part" in the torque converter? Assume so.
So my question really is:
Like a standard transmission when the clutch plate becomes really really worn out the engine slips and looses grip. You have to replace the clutch, there is no fluid that goes between the clutch.
With an automatic is the same type of clutch "plate" in the torque converter, is that what is worn out?
Is that why it's impossible to know if it is "actually" worn out or if the "fluid's" ability to grab it is WORN OUT?
Both test drives with a scan tool hooked up the mechanics were able to trigger the "clutch" on/off no problem so can "it" be the worn out part.
So I'm confused how can the clutch mechanism be broken but work perfectly?
Thanks, I'm just looking to expand my knowledge. Thank you everyone.
