PSA To All Aveo Owners with an Automatic

[HeavyDuty]

Torque converter lockup has absolutely nothing to do with steering or pulling left or right. The torque converter works as part of the automatic transmission. The lockup acts similar to a fifth gear or overdrive on automatic transmissions. On an Aveo it doesn't enter lockup in until about 45 MPH. When it does, it actually feels like a shift: you will notice a drop in RPM to about 2000. If the engine is cold, the TC will not lockup at all until it reaches operating temperature.

I see what your saying now, I thought you were referring to a differential lockup not a converter lock. However our car "hunts" as if power is being shifted from side to side, and while doing this it changes the pull and it can be very quick and unexpected. Now under normal operation this is exactaly what happens, the tire with the least traction is the one that spins....but I should not beable to feel it happen.

So you tell me....is the torque converter lockup the reason I am driving around at 100/KM HR with the engine Rpm at around 4200 ? Can you imagine how this might impact MPG ? As far as a lawsuit goes, high paid lawyers don't go to far in a small claims action, and I have only ever lost one matter. I even removed a child from a government agency whom I only knew for 3 weeks and the court gave him to me. I know my way around a court room.



that's the paper file on my car, and I served GM in 2010 by way of registered mail that a suit was forth coming.
