TC question

[redneckaggie]

I don't own any strokers personally but a lender vehicle i am driving while I replace the clutch in my idi is a powerstroke. when i put it in reverse the the torque converter locks up. only happens in reverse and releases after a second of holding the brakes down and almost killing it because you are bogging it so bad. what could be problems here. thanks in advance

Check the fluid level.

does it have a "range switch" on the transmission?
will be on the shift shaft, bolted to the case, and be about the size of a pack of long cigarettes..

 

[redneckaggie]

no sir can't say it does it really makes no sense to me because it only does it in reverse and it was driving me insane.

find and unplug the neutral safety switch and try it..
