Do I have A bad Torque converter?
I put in my hd2 and an ACC stall (10" 3000 rpms). It feels great except for on the highway. I can feel the torque converter lock but if I give it any gas it slips. It doesn't slip in any other gears and never over my 3000 stall speed, it hooks solid. My tuner tried holding 100% lockup and it still did it. I checked to make sure the TCC valve was in right and it is. I also noticed in the bottom of my drain pan, it looked like little metalic flakes. Is that from the torque converter clutches or do I have a differnt problem causing it?
Thanks in advance

if i were you i'd try not drive it anymore to prevent more particles from circulating in the trans.

As for the TC problem, I would have the TC checked before driving anymore. Clutch material is one thing. Metallic particles are another. Park it!

I just pulled my torque converter. ACC said check to make sure the o-ring on the tranny shaftisn't damaged. I don't think it is but I can't find it, so that could be the problem. They said that it doesn't keep the pressure in the converter. I imagine I should try getting an o-ring. Should I send my converter back to have the clutches inspected? Or should I try Putting it together with a new o-ring?
