Torque Coverter Clutch Problem
I have a 1991 Sedan DeVille, 4.9L . runs really well. I got it in 2003 I believe and it had 151,000 on it. Well after putting about 1,000 of my own miles on it. I desided to change the Tranny fluid. filter, clean magnet and replace gasket. (the old fluid didnt look bad at all. but at 151,000,,...well)
But anyway Its Aug 2006 and I parked it in the garage and drove the Acura around. here we are in Aug 2007 and I brake it out of the Garage. started driving it and its driving like its new. I dont feel the tranny shifting and its getting about 21.9 on city/hwy. but a week ago I get a code E39. still I clear the code and drive another day. E39 comes again. and I did this once more. E39. Its still shifting fine. I cant tell when its shifting and it Idles low. Please tell me theres a simple solutions to this besides a new transmition. |

RE: CODE E039 - VCC, Torque Coverter Clutch Problem
Sorry to dig up an old thread but i know how to use the search :). I have a 1990 sedan deville with this problem. My haynes, chilton and online manual @ http://www.sjcpls.org/referencetools3.aspx. All dont tell me where to look or how to fix it. I have spent an hour or 2 on google and nothing :/.

END QUOTE---------------- What do you mean by brake switch??? My brake light is on but i cant figure out why. Where would i attemp to look for this solenoid. I am not very car literate but with mild instructions i can fix it or replace what is needed. (just point me where and what to look for). Ok so if i give her some gas she hessitates (kind of like the the trans slips but im assuming its the torque converter) and it shakes a little when i brake (like it has a warped rotar). I hope this gives you and idea of my problem or if you can link me to somewhere that can help me fix this problem. Thanks |

Ok i think i may have found the brake switch, is it on the brake pedal with a redish/pinkish wire? how do i test it. Still haven't found the solenoid
