Hey just a reminder that I see a lot of automatic transmission torque converter issues such as torque converter wander, rumble strips or a misfire sensation from the torque converter. If not addressed, this can cause transmission failure. Overtime the oils and additives can break down and change the friction dynamics of the friction and clutch components. Especially in newer vehicles and vehicles you tow with. Easy to prevent with regular maintenance and usually fixable with a transmission fluid service if addressed quick enough, such as this F-150

Dodge Ram 1500 5.7 v8 - At that point I barely heard a tick with a half misfire on cylinder 7… A running compression test was the giveaway. Camshaft and lifter replacement turns into a fairly costly repair. Faulty rollers on the lifters tend to fail with these motors causing camshaft lobe damage. This lifter failed and actually turned 90 degrees on the cam lobe

I’ve been seeing these Subaru CVT transmissions lately, the transmission operates normally but has a very loud growling/grinding noise while moving, even at very low speeds. Looks like the internal ball bearings are getting more common to fail with these TR580 CVT’s…
