A couple days ago I drove my car(88GT, Automatic trans) for about 20 miles. Stopped at a red light car died. Starts right up but stalls when I put it in gear. After letting it sit awhile It ran fine for about another 15 miles. Then started running a little rough for about 1 mile, when I pulled in my parking spot it died. Started right up but shuddered when I put it in gear. I drove it yesterday for about seven miles no problem, but I beleive if I drove much more it would have done it again. I beleive it is heat related. Has 3/4 tank of gas in it. Any suggetions?

Hi,

sounds like a bad TCC-Solenoid to me...

Best regards,

Yup. I second the TCC solenoid. Been there, done that.
As a temporary measure, you can unplug the solenoid. It's a 4-prong square-looking plug on the front of the tranny, below where the front manifold connects to the Y-pipe. Your gas mileage will suffer, and your tranny will make more heat.

Hey fleabit, Miss all the fun we had at the dutch classic.

Yep, I also would say it is the TCC. I've never fixed one but it can be unplugged to stop the shutter.

I vote for TCC solenoid. Been there done that.

Yep Tcc solenoid. When you do yours you can come on over and do mine for me next.

Thanks everyone for your help. You all called it right. I unplugged the harness and no problems. One more question though. Can I drop the pan and get to the solenoid to replace it? Thanks Dave
