I have a locked up torque converter. Have had it in a few times to service and after reseting the fault it works for about a week. Car has no power particularly on hills. Last time a small item was replaced called a clutch. Has anyone else had this experience as it cost me $90 each time and the problem is not solved. Thanks

Hi, Bob. Welcome to Fred's. Do you know what kind of car it is? Model year? How many miles (kms)? Transmission rebuilt yet?
