Help torque converter replacement


Recommended Posts

Ok not a transmission expert first. I just installed a new trailblazer converter in my 03 ss. Now it will not shift while in throttle I have hp tuners and installed my stock trans numbers still no luck. I also used scanner to listen for solenoid operation and that's good. I did take servo out and installed billet 3-4. Need input I am thinking its in the tune but can anyone think of anything I could have done wrong with servo etc? Also I did break the neutral safety switch and had to install new one. Any advice would be appreciated

I would assume it has the potential to prematurely wear the clutches and bands within the transmission as the servo is the part that applies the appropriate pressure to the bands during shifting. A bad servo would cause irregular shift patterns. Leaking servo would cause the clutches and bands to slip more because of the loss in pressure used to engage the servo. Destroying the transmission probably not but it could cause you to overhaul the clutches and bands in essence taking the tranny completely out...
