Does your car transmission need to be rebuilt if you have a chirping noise coming from the torque converter? I recently discovered that there was a chirping noise coming from my car. The gears are shifting fine with no sluggishness. I thought it was my belts but that wasn't the case. The car was taken to a transmission shop by my local mechanic. They said it was the torque converter and it would have to be replaced and the transmission would have to be rebuilt because of metal pieces being passed on to the trans(repair cost $2,000 to 2,200). That was determined only by sitting on a rack with nothing else done. I went for a second opinion by taking it to another trans shop. He stated that the torque converter needs to be replaced but the trans does not need to be replaced(repair cost $500). He highly doubts that metal pieces were passed on because all the gears are shifting fine.

Torque converter? Ive been doing some research and I think im showing signs of a locked TC on my AT.When I come to a stop my idle will drop, I hear a loud clunk and then my Idle shoots back up.I initially thought it could be the break booster but that just doesnt explain the clunk.Its like I stopped to fast for the car to catch up.It only does it when I stop at over 30 mph.What do you think?

What are the symptoms of a failing Torque Converter? I have a 1994 Dodge Ram 1500, and just the other day i was driving home and saw my RPM jump to about 3000 (was running at only about 1500 - 2000 before that). I didnt think anything of it. About a mile up the road it happened again, but this time i could not accelerate (like i was trying to drive in neutral) Occasionally the engine would connect with the transmission and i could drive a few feet before it would disconnect again. I just parked it out in a parking lot until i could get it going enough to make it home. Now when i start the truck (while its cold) everything seems to run fine, but as soon as it gets a little warm there is a loud grinding noise (like the gears on a diesel engine) that comes from the transmission. Is it possible that this sound is actually coming from the torque converter (maybe the stator's clutch went out??) It also whines as i accelerate relative to the RPM (fluid has been checked and is good and full)..... Thank you very much for your answers. (error code 37 is showing up on my OBDI) Another thing is that it only does this after being in gear for a little while, i spoke with a couple people and they said that it was probably the front pump. If this is the case, would i HAVE to get a full overhaul on the transmission, or is it possible to just replace the pump?
