| Description of the problem | I recently purchased a 2005 mercury monterey mini-van with 45,000 miles. It now has 47500 miles and i have been told it needs a torque converter to repair the transmission. I was driving at approx 35 miles per hour when the van completely lost forward motion. The engine was running, there wasn't any noise, service lights or fluid leakage. The car simply had no gears. We had no prior warning, the car had never had any hesitation, jerking or any signs of distress. Thankfully we had just pulled off the interstate. We pulled off the road into a parking lot where we coasted to a stop. |
