Why is my torque converter making a noise?
Why is my torque converter making a noise?
With a 4L60-E, disconnecting the solenoid wire harness will work. A restricted filter can also cause pump noises. The best way to check this is with a pressure gauge. If the noise is caused by a clogged filter, the needle will vibrate when the demand for pressure increases. Torque Converters… Torque converter noises are easy to isolate.
Can a bad torque converter cause a transmission to fail?
Failures within the torque converter can cause symptoms similar to a failing transmission, so include it in a diagnosis of suspected transmission problems.
When does the transmission noise go away in a 4T60?
For example, a 4T60-E has a noise in neutral while stationary. The noise goes away when the transmission is in gear. Right away, you can rule out the torque converter. Since the pump is producing the same pressure in neutral as it is in gear, you can also rule it out.
Why does my transmission make noise when the engine is running?
If the noise is there only in gear with the drive wheels stationary and goes away in neutral, suspect the torque converter. There is an exception with the AOD transmission. The direct drum of an AOD is always turning while the engine is running.

Why does my transmission make so much noise?
Many types of noise are transmission related. Sometimes it’s nothing more than a normal noise that sounds louder because of bad mounts or because part of the transmission is touching the frame or underbody of the car.
