So I have a 2000 gs regal supercharged 178,000. I'm driving about 30mph and get a hard yank next thing i pulled over about 3 blocks later and 3/4 ear will not engage. 1,2 and reverse works. Iv read and know its probably typical forward band. fluid was brown no shavings but I know its never been changed at-least since 129,000 when it was bought into family.
My bro has a supercharged motor and Trans sitting on the floor, we know the trans is good. He had a few minor mods done to the engine and a few to the trans but its been sitting for a couple years been driven only a handful of times. Fluid clean etc. As i'm separating his trans from his old motor i notice the torque converter is new, but its blue.
Obviously aftermarket, he says it may have been a stall convertor so I may not be able to use it. So my question is can i use it why or why not. Should I use my old one, and if not where or what route should I go in getting another one?
My Buick is all stock by the way.
