Torque converter clutch does not disengage
Probable cause(s)
Shift solenoid valve C defective
Drive plate defective or transmission incorrectly installed
Torque converter clutch piston defective
Torque converter defective
Lock-up shift valve defective
Notes
Inspect the shift solenoid valve C function with the HDS.
Check for a seized shift solenoid valve, and inspect the O-rings.
Check for an incorrectly installed transmission, and check the drive plate for wear and damage. Replace the drive plate if it is worn or damaged.
Replace the torque converter.
Be careful not to damage the torque converter housing when replacing the main ball bearing. You may also damage the ATF pump when you torque down the main valve body. This will cause ATF pump seizure, use the proper tools.
Check the lock-up shift valve in the main valve body for free movement, and check the valve springs for wear and damage.
