Any people have Chevrolet Suburban? I have a Chevrolet Suburban and need some assistance with repairing my transmission and clogged converter?
The converter is clogged and I'm thinking about putting a few holes in the top, and my transmission I want to drop the pan change the gasket and filter and put it back.
Answer:
By the way if by converter, you are talking about the torque converter, DO NOT put any holes in it. the best you can do is remove it from the tranny and have it flushed out by a reputable transmission shoop. but in all honesty, you really should replace it. there is no way of knowing if you there is any internal damage to the converter.
And if you are talking about the cat converter on the exhaust, don't punch holes in the top. these create a lot of heat and you could burn through the heat shield. then the floor pan. if you don't want or can't replace it then you need to remove it and either install a pipe yourself ( a shop won't do it) or punch out the ceramic grid that is inside the converter and reinstall the converter.
