Torque Converter Replacement in 2018 Nissan Armada in Bowling Green, KY

Imagine you just crossed the 100,000 mile threshold with no problems on the vehicle you purchased brand new from the Nissan Dealership. First, you would be thinking this is a miracle! No Nissan has ever lasted this long without needing work done. Second, you would be praying it stays that way. I know this is what our customer was doing when she felt the dreaded shutter that comes before the torque converter completely goes out. "Shimmy Shimmy Shimmy" she randomly feels as she is driving to pickup her kids from school, almost as if she is running over rumble strips. To Wholesale she went!

Once the vehicle is at our shop we sent one of our diagnosticians to take a look. The TCC slip readings were off the chart, shuttering at almost 150rpms at any given moment. When the slip occurs you can really feel the shuttering occur. So what is the solution? With this style of trans it typically means you can do a torque converter replacement with a service and you are good to go. So that is what we decided to try first!

One of our R&R guys went to work quickly after. He pulled the transmission in around four hours and we found the ID code on the torque converter. One call later to our parts guy and a torque converter is ordered! The torque converter arrives two days later and our R&R guy goes back to work, installing the transmission in around five hours. One service and a test drive later and the customer is ready to pick her up! Now after completing transmission repairs she can pickup her kids in style in Bowling Green, KY.
