Basically, if you got this far, you may need a new Torque Converter...

Thanks for all the information you have posted here. Gives me a lot to go on.

Reason I quote the above statements is because the other day, I noticed that if I placed the gear selecter in first gear that the car would barly move. Felt almost like clutch slippage in an MTX. I did not press the issue at all, not allowing engine RPMs to get over 2000. I quickly pressed the brake, came to a stop, put the car back into drive and then took off. This really worried me and one reason why I have started with this. Felt that it had to do something with the torque converter

As for the Vehicle Explorer. I have not even used it and I love it! Seems like you could make you own OBDII terminal attachment on take off from there, I have pretty much everything else, but I am not sure about what the router interface is that he is talking about. I have been playing with the sample file too much to do much reading. Either way, it is worth every penny. Really it is actually a fair price. It is on my "to buy list" for sure (there goes that strut brace!!). I did find someone that will be at the Nashville meet that has it, so I will be doing plenty of recording while there, then get home and evaluate what I got.

Thanks again for all your help guys! I have gotten pretty busy this week so I will not be able to do anything as for troubleshooting this week, but I will this weekend.
