84Co-Rolla Posted January 22, 2012 Report Posted January 22, 2012 (edited) hello everyone, i am new to rolla club and i have just recently bought an auto 1984 ae71. as i accelerate moderately to hard the car suddenly shutters, i believe it may be doing this from 1st to 2nd gear. so the transmission must have a problem, thanks, Aaron Edited January 22, 2012 by 84Co-Rolla Quote
clubby2084 Posted January 22, 2012 Report Posted January 22, 2012 Hi Aaron, welcome to Rolla Club. I would put the trans in for a service. For around $130 - $150. They'll check the bands, and for blockages. Given the age of the vehicle, it's probably due... Quote
84Co-Rolla Posted January 22, 2012 Author Report Posted January 22, 2012 thanks, ill take it in sometime this week Quote
84Co-Rolla Posted March 16, 2012 Author Report Posted March 16, 2012 i bought a new trans and forgot to get the torque converter off the bloke that i bought it from, can i rebuild my current torque converter? Quote
altezzaclub Posted March 16, 2012 Report Posted March 16, 2012 Ask a gearbox shop- I didn't think they did. Aren't they a welded-up unit? Change to manual and get rid of 50kg in weight! Ah- Google knows all! They're welded up and have to be cut in half, then aligned exactly and rewelded at the end of the service. Definately not worth doing. http://www.hotrodders.com/forum/torque-converter-rebuilding-35445.html Use your old one, and if it still jerks get one from a wrecker. It sounds like bands to me, as Clubby said. Quote
