Well, I guess I am some kind of special guy, 'cause I just blew up the "bulletproof" AW4 in my '92.
Not wining, really. Just looking for a little post mortem diagnosis.
Was doddling down the interstate doing 65, it downshifted going up hill, then downshifted again, then again, then a big cloud of white smoke came pouring from below. Lost all gears totally. Didn't really loose much fluid. The dipstick is clean and red.
The engine has been running a little hot, but never in the red and never overheated.
210,000 miles. Have owned it since 140k. Reportedly had been serviced right before I bought it. I had just drained and filled. I know that is only a partial change. I measured what I drained and refilled with a bottle of Lucas and the remainder Dex III.
Any chance I just blew the torque converter, or are my chickens dead?:doh:
Any thoughts?
