Warranty after 13 yrs and who know how many miles? I don’t think you are supposed to smoke the glue. Then again what do I know …. I’m just a dumb grease monkey.

In reply to Dale N.. I thought I lucked out on 2013 Ford Edge with 27,000 miles. No warranty. Putting in shop tomorrow to replace torque converter. Did replacing the TC fix your Edge?

In reply to Sandi. A new torque converter will require dropping the transmission. Could be around $1500 give or take. A couple shops in the area should be able to give you a reasonable estimate.

In reply to Pedro jimenez.

That’s a tough one. I would wait if you can, but if you want to take a crack at it yourself you should be able to find parts data and a factory service manual from Chevrolet. Check on their website at the following links:

Hope this helps, and good luck.

I have a 2018 Chevy Silverado 1500 which all of this symptoms, I went to a mechanic and he pointed that the problem is the torque converter and he is charging me for replacement 800 of labor (which I think it’s affordable) however he cannot do the job till 3 weeks from now and it’s the same with all of transmission mechanics in my area. I’m very skilled and I have the tools to do it myself but I can’t find any info about what’s parts do I need to replace such as gasket, filter or seals. Any advise?

In reply to Crystal Parks. Did the dealer offer your son an extended warranty? Usually they offer it to you or if you decline, they make you sign that you decline. Cox if the dealer did not offer an extended warranty coverage, you may be entitled under Lemon law. It may vary between states.

In reply to Rashad. Yes, it sounds right but maybe you should have got different quotes for prices. When getting something fixed (car, house, etc) always get multiple quote. That way you won’t have to second guess if you got the best deal or not.

In reply to Bryan. A friend had a car that did that and it was only a fuse. I on the other hand had similar problems but was not so lucky. I had to replace the fuel pump. Guess I was so lucky.
