Hey guys, need some help.
Don't often have trans issues so I'm not a pro but today I noticed the a pretty bad grinding/clanking noise coming from the bell housing area when I'm in Drive or reverse, with my foot on the break. When moving I don't really hear much but that could be because of the engine noise.
Truck seems to drive fine, but I don't know if it's in my head that it's slower. I brake tested the converter and it appears strong still. Checked trans fluid, and it was below low on the hot side, so added about 2 L and we're just above the L mark on the hot reading.
My thoughts are I had low trans fluid, and hurt the torque converter? Can't think what else it could be. It shifts fine. Any thoughts?
Also, for the guys on here that have parts laying about, can anyone help source me a 1KZT Torque converter. It'll need to be shipped to the states.
