Hey guys,
Just wanted to say thank you to everyone from before in my last thread who helped me with my idle and smoke issue on my b5.5, you're advice was solid, especially yours Oilhammer! Now on to my next crisis. So back in August I serviced my 5hp19 transmission since the transmission pump had failed and was dumping all the fluid on the ground. I replaced the filter, pump, fluid, seals, and torque converter from Eriksons for good measure and popped the tyranny back in. I have out about 500-600 miles since the build only doing an oil change and air filter change for good measure. This morning I got the dread F$%k you light on in all its money hungry glory and the code i pulled was 17125/P0741-"torque converter clutch stuck off/no power being transmitted". I cleared it just to make sure it was current and sure enough it came back on in 2 trips. I was in such denial I must have reset the light 3 times today hoping to would stay off . I called Eriksons and they were just as stumped as me, he said they have never had a torque converter they serviced fail especially in such short mileage, but anything is possible. My wonder is what are the chances that it's a valve body issue or just the tcc solenoid that decided today was the day to fail? I performed a stall test just to confirm some information, in drive the engine stall speed is just shy of 3000rpm and in reverse, the stall speed jumps to just a bit over 2000 rpm before it goes down to about just about or under the 2000rpm mark, I ran the test twice during the day snd received the same results in either test. Driving wise it shifts around under the 3000rpm mark snd down shifting is a bit rough but drivable. Im really stumped and my biggest fear is going to be having to replace the torque converter.
Thanks to any and all advice, also Happy Thanksgiving to everyone and their families!
