370z torque converter

Sounds like a sprag broke on our TC causing it to be locked up all of the time. Replace it and you should be good to go as long as it didn't damage anything else in the process. Happens to stock auto trannies in the diesel world all the time. The problem with them is they have an anti stall feature. The truck would try to blow through a traffic light or stop sign with the brakes depressed.

Thanks for the info. That’s what I was told as I been asking around trying to get quotes on just replacing the torque converter one shop quoted me at 800 to replace the torque converter that’s just labor but was telling me maybe I should think about doing the rebuild as something else might have got damaged he wasn’t trying to force me to do whole rebuild but he recommended as he said if any fragments entered the transmission it could’ve done some damage on the inside
