allroad questions

[Fred Munro]

I had a problem with a lock-up torque converter that showed up as vibration.
The converter would rapidly lock and unlock at light throttle. It wasn't on
an Audi though, it was a GM POS. I "solved" the problem by pulling a
connector to disable the lockup feature.

I'm not trans tech but I wouldn't be so sure...  To me at least, a torque
converter is a very specialized beast and consider it's function, I could
imagine that it could cause some sort of weirdness unnder light load,
something that might be perceived as vibration.

But its only under light load, which seems to contradict that thesis....

doesnt it?
