I think my torque converter is starting to go. I have 176k miles on the car. I am the second owner. When I come to a stop a vibration can be felt coming thru the pedal and heard. I thought is was the brakes at first but now I am not so sure. What are your thoughts?

 

broken tranny and possibly motor mounts.

blown TC would be felt with slipping.

 

It doesn't do it all the time but I will have to check it out.
I will get under it this weekend for a visual of the mounts.
Cound be the tranny.
I'll report after my inspect.

 

does it do this while in D or P or N?

 

It does is when slowing to a stop from D. Today it did it in the morning, but after driving for awhile..all was good.
It's done this in the past but seems to be getting worse.

 

if its mainly in D then its most certainly the trans mount (rear).

im currently waiting for mine, so il prolly have a tut up soon
