Just had my TH200c rebuilt in my 87 Cutlass. I noticed the torque converter connector was not plugged in and I don't see the wires for it under the car. Will it be fine to drive with it disconnected? I hear driving without it can cause overheating but some people have driven without it for many miles with no problems. Would installing a trans cooler eliminate that problem? Or should I have someone connect it back?

 

Why wouldn't you go back to the place that rebuilt your transmission?

 

I had a guy take the transmission out and take it to someone he knew locally for the rebuild so they were not the ones to bolt it back in. I'll have to get in touch with them to get that TCC plugged in.

 

The harness is there somewhere. Keep looking. Driving without the lockup feature active really only results in slightly higher gas consumption. It is common to leave it unplugged when the solenoid sticks and prevents the converter clutch from unlocking. In any case, whoever installed the trans screwed up and needs to make it right.

 

I'll check for it hopefully it's there. If it's not I'll have my guy wire a new one and plug it in. Thanks for the advice!
