No noises from tranny then put into Reverse it stalled out right away. So replaced TCC Tranny filter and fluid.Started up no noise let car warm up in park for 15 min.,then put into Raverse car stalls again, noise in tranny area.No codes .I think maybe its the Torque Converter ,or maybe the trannsmission cooler is pluged.any info helpful

Hey Ray,
So very sorry we missed your post! Please accept our apologies!! Another issue w/ those tranny's is the TCC lock up solenoids ... will cause the identical symptoms! i would recommend you disconn the connector to the tranny first, if the problem disappears (and it will have no OD) then its the TCC (easy fix!) Please let us know!!! I can send along the pic and procedure if ya want!
