If the torque converter in your Chevrolet Silverado is failing, you will probably be able to tell as there are various symptoms that you will observe before a complete breakdown occurs. One of the most common signs is slipping in and out of gears, especially during shifts. This issue can eventually damage the transmission itself, along with the other symptoms. You may also notice that the transmission is overheating and the transmission fluid might look cloudy when checked. Additionally, you may experience violent shaking even on smooth roads, an increase in stall speed, and unusual sounds like screeching, grinding, or rubbing coming from the transmission. If torque converter problems are not identified and addressed promptly, it could lead to the need for a costly full transmission replacement, which can exceed $3,000.

Here's a paraphrased and rephrased version of the text: "If the converter in a 2002 Silverado with a 4.8 engine and 4L60E transmission goes bad, it can damage the transmission. But by replacing it with a cheap $100 junk transmission, the vehicle can still reach 300,000 miles. Taking care of it immediately.
