let me first say that i hope that this doesnt fall into the TLR category
well, its as plain as the title says, auto box failure.... now, the part that has me confused, is that there were no signs that it was going to go out... about 15 minutes before my mother in law, my wife, and myself were on our way to dinner with the newly married brother in law, i heard a sound like a rod knock, but it didn't sound right.... then it went away... so i assumed it was another car that was in the parking lot...
we left, got on the freeway, and as i started to coast down a hill, i felt a "clunk" and saw the rpms drop from 2500@65MPH down to idle@800-950... i pulled over, and had no forward or reverse gears... ended up getting it towed home, and let it sit overnight...
went to work, car has now sat for a total of 22hrs since it got off the tow truck, and still, if i put it in gear, i can see the rpms change like it is engaging, but no motion... revving it up in any gear just revs it up as if i were in neutral...
what i think it may be?(this is where im looking for some help)
-torque conveter went for a walk
-pump went out
-both of the above
-entire transmission shot(hope this is a no)
ive got to do the axles anyway, so thats getting done... anything else i should do since i will have the transmission out? any seals i should replace while im at it? im not looking for this to be a few day adventure, ill have a helper with me and we should be able to get this done in a day(saturday as long as parts are here)
as far as the axles go, PFS lists an inner and an outer... should i change both, since im going to be pulling the trans?
any ideas where i would be able to source a torque converter?
