I'm trying to solve this one for my parent's 2000 Century. As the car accelerates through the gears, the transmissioin has a harsh bang or grab about a quarter way through each gear range. The transmission does not slip before or after the bang. It appears after the transmission has warmed up. When it first started a while ago, there was foam in the fluid after running. However, it doesn't foam anymore. Dealer has inspected and changed the fluid and filter twice but the problem persists.

Please help.

Thanks, Matt

wierd...i'll ask my ex about this issue. he, too, has a 2000 century, and i believe he's had an almost identical problem.

torque converter? possibly?

it's not how fast you go, it's how you get there that counts.
ZZP XP cam, 1.6 rockers, 105# springs, speedbuilt FWI, 3.3" modular pulley, TOG headers,
3" exhaust, flomatched injectors
'97 GTP 14.06@100.6mph pre cam w/ 3.5" pulley, I/E

Sounds like either the TC is going bad or maybe there's a pressure issue?

Victims needed. No experience necessary.

maybe try unplugging the torque converter clutch switch. probably a plug in on the top of the tranny. see if it still does it
