I'm running an AW4 behind a VW tdi engine in my YJ wrangler. Manually controlled with Winters Shifter and Radesigns controller. Engine puts out 300+ lb. Ft of torque
Put 5k miles on it successfully. One day on commute home, tcc came out of lockup on the highway. Odd because tcc lockup is on a switch. After letting off gas a little it went back into lockup.
Next day trans started slipping after 20 minutes of working fine on the interstate. Started after sitting at red light. Trans temps stay under 100F at all times. Still shifts through all 4 gears no problem, just slips to the point I can't go over 30mph.
I pull over to check fluid level etc, no problem. No leaks, all seems normal. Gets a bit worse over next mile. I pull over and turn off engine for 10 minutes, afterwards trans acts fine.
Same scenario next day on commute to work, runs perfect for 20 minutes, then gets slippy after highway run and then red light. Trans temp never goes over 100f before it starts slipping.
Ideas? I feel like maybe torque converter is failing? I'm probably going to just replace entire trans again, just would like a diagnosis of failure.
