Re: What you guys think ?
yeah prolly the torque converter. when parking on a hill, its always wise to set the e-brake before stepping off the brake pedal. that will put the load on the rear brakes instead of the trans. when you get ready to drive again, start car and hold the brake, then release the e-brake. it will save your trans in the long run.
