Torque converter not locking
« on: 15 February 2010, 13:22:42 »

A couple of times today (i.e going to work and at lunchtime) when driving along the A47 the torque converter didn't lock at 50mph therefore when on cruise control the revs were rising on inclines destroying my mpg. Is this a typical ATF symptom or something else? It only happens if the engine isn't up to operating temp, once up to temp the tc is fine.

I'm having it changed on Wednesday along with the oils/filters & MoT. No problems tonight though.
