Alright, I ran through the 3 A/T pages here and 19 or so on Talk ( ) so don't tell me to search.
My fiance and I went to look at an A/T 1991 AWD and the guy never shoed up...well, not on time at least. We called, and he said he drove the car back to his folk's house because it had no power off the line. His first thought was "torque converter", and since we are potential buyers, we didn't dispute this. This trans was replaced 3k ago.
Doug99RS drove the car and noticed that it drove fairly well...in 2nd ONLY (again, this may have been third). Called a local Mitsu tech, and he suggested that the trans is in limp mode due to a faulty TCU. We also notice the tranny fluid was WAY overfilled.
Now, what are the chances of this being a real internal issue (i.e. TC, or general tranny health)?
