Default RE: transmission problems

I just had the same problem. Replaced the torque converter and didn’t make a difference. After the 3rd time removing and trying new things I took it to the dealer. I had about 145,000 on it and they said that it should be replaced. I asked about rebuilding it and they said its possible but at that many miles it should just be replaced. Sadly it cost roughly 4k.....but I got a 100,000 mile warranty. Better than sitting on the side of the road.
