What are the signs of a Torque converter going bad? Its GM car and I know its not a ford question, but now this topic has come up in here and I am wondering about my Buick.. It chatters and vibrates when it locks up the converter. Shift fine though and smooth just lock up is grindy.. When it locks you here a sort of bells or marbles sound then it locks up and your good to go.. Its been doing this for 40K miles... no problems.. but annoying as hell? Any thoughts?
