Frequently asked questions
What causes a shudder around 40 mph?
A worn torque converter lockup clutch often shudders at light throttle. We confirm with Xentry live data before replacing the converter.
Why flush the cooler and lines?
A failed converter sheds debris that lodges in the cooler and lines. Flushing them prevents that debris from damaging the new converter.
Can a bad converter cause overheating?
Yes. A slipping or failing converter builds heat in the transmission. Replacing it and refreshing the fluid brings temperatures back down.
Do you replace fluid with the converter?
Yes. We refill with the correct MB spec fluid to the proper temperature level so lockup engages smoothly after the repair.
