well it happened my transmission wont lock up

[TOMASINO]

i was racing a g35 all of the sudden my tranny wont lock up anymore?? the car drives and shifts fine but the transmission don't have any engine brake on 3gear or any other gear... anybody has the same problem??? do i need 2 rebuild my transmission???

I'm not much for trans stuff but maybe a converter? Or just build it and be done with it.

Sounds like it time for a new converter/transmission or rebuild.

Sounds like something is slipping in the high RPMs

how did u do against the g35? Dont you just love how they sound like a lawn mover going down the road?

any codes? is the car misfiring at all? It could be the tranny but I would rule out the simple easy stuff first. If you're getting misfires it'll keep the convertor from locking up but usually it'll lock/unlock.
I'm moving this to the drivetrain area.

If you have no engine braking in any gear there may be and issue with either the OVERUN HUB or the OVERUN CLUTCH This will be noted by the car feeling like its just rolling in neutral even in manual low one and when you gice gas will rev up till it catches up with the gear.

is this the converter??? i just bought a 3000 yank and still won't lock up only on D, somebody said here this is normal while running a stall?? or maybe the lock up selenoid?? appreciate the help

[El Toro Loco]

have u checked the oil level

[TOMASINO]

2 weeks ago?? This thread was posted like 2 months ago (maybe there is a lot left out??).

Lockup issues cannot be blamed on the converter if you are running a stock tune. False misfires caused by the change in rotating mass can cause it to not lock as it should.

FWIW mail order tuning could get you squared away.

The converter will not cause no engine braking on downshifts , That would be a mechanical issue with the trans internally
