Hi I have a strange grunt like pig that comes from I think the torque converter it only makes this noise if I put my foot down on the accelerator or more so if I put accelerator down on a hill. Its always been the same, someone said it maybe the limiter on the torque converter what do you think?

Does the sound come from the trans? As far as a limiter, I question that. Have you checked the trans mount? Also, is the vehicle under factory warranty still? I believe it has a 60K powertrain warranty.

Let me know. However, make sure the trand mount is tight and not damaged.

LEt me know what you find, and thanks for using 2carpros. Com.
