[V8] '93 Acceleration Vibration

[Seamus O'Carey]

The torque converter could be failing. This is what seems to have happened
to mine recently. It felt like wheel hop at first, but it would happen even
if I wasn't stepping on it hard. At this point it immediately goes into
limp mode and I can press the pedal to the floor and the car will only
barely move.

I've heard of some people having good luck with just draining the fluid and
changing the filter, but if the TC is shot there's not much that can be
done except replace it.

Good luck

Seamus
