Hey everyone. My 4r100 in my truck has been giving me some trouble for about a week. It is a rebuilt stock trans with a valve body from Cale Thompson. When the truck is in drive, it just feels like more throttle is needed to get it going and to get up to speed (almost like it's starving for fluid, but fluid level is good). But when you put it in reverse and let off the brake it does not roll like normal. You have to give it throttle and it'll grab real quick and spin the tires and then just stop. I've talked to a few people, and what they seem to think is that my torque converter is going out of it... Let me know what you think. I haven't tore into it yet because we have just started harvest, and hopefully it'll be going to a local well known shop this weekend and get taken care of.

Just talked to Lavon and i think i'm taking it down there sometime this weekend for him to look at... but he didn't seem to think it was my converter. So you don't think i should even drive it to his shop ?
