Torque Converter installed - New problem now
Picked up my car with the new PI TC installed and the rest of the tranny completely rebuilt. Shifts are a lot smoother now and the effects of the TC are clearly noticeable.
However, the next morning, there were very noticeable vibrations when slowly accellerating in 1st and rear, up to approx. 1200rpm. Also, it feels like the parking brake was engaged.
Above approx. 1200rpm and in gears 2 and higher, everything appears to be fine. Also, after about 1/2 hour of driving, the vibrations are gone.
Any ideas what this could be?

Transmission mount?
who rebuilt your tranny? bring it back to them for warrantee repair. Is it a SC4 ? Did they put in Type IV?
It the vibrations don't disappear within the next days, I'm definitely going to take it back to the shop. I'm only hesitating because it's 300miles away.

the SC4 tranny needs T-IV stuff is wicked expensive (unless you work at the dealership!) and it's one of a kind... some companies sell T-IV mimicking additives... junk.
it's kinda like a washboard/rumblestrip vibration, right?
I had that when my tranny fluid was goo -- it was dark black... I showed it off at the CL meet I had a year ago. the SC4 needs new fluid every 15k. No two ways about it.
