Report: Torque Converter Clutch Can Stick After Extended Freeway Driving
Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera Problem
Model Years Affected: 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996
Average Mileage: 112,380 mi (21,000 mi - 185,000 mi)
The torque converter clutch can stick "on" after extended freeway driving causing the engine to stall when coming to a stop. Our technicians tell us when this occurs, the engine usually will restart and stall when put into gear. After allowing about twenty minutes for the engine and transmission to cool down, the engine will start and the transmission will operate normally. Replacing the torque converter clutch solenoid, transmission filter, and fluid will generally correct this issue.

I'm on e of the writers above. The problem defeated me. I sold my daily driver to a crusher for $300. Got a nice low mileage Tarus, titled, reaired, fixed up about $2,100 in all. My first Ford. Has a rattle, of course.

I amtold this repair is uneconomical for an old car. I am told the transmission must be dropped.

My car does the same thing, after car get hot it stalls,and when I crank it up ,then put it in gear it stalls again. Wait about 10 min. then it will function right.

Runs rough then stalls when hot. Restarts OK then stalls when put into gear.
