How many quarts of torque converter clutch solenoid?
You will need between 3 and 5 quarts. A failed transmission solenoid or an open circuit anywhere in the electrical system may cause the transmission to go into Fail Safe (or “limp” mode as it is also called) in order to protect the transmission from internal damage that might be caused by the faulty solenoid or open circuit.
What happens when the torque converter clutch fails?
The symptoms of a torque converter clutch solenoid that fails while in the open position are quite different from a solenoid that fails in the closed position, as described above. When the solenoid is open, the engine is locked to the transmission so there is no transmission slip.
Why does my Silverado have torque converter problems?
I have a ’14 5.3L that started having shuddering issues. Stopped by my local mechanic and had him test ride with me with the truck hooked up to a computer. Diagnosed that it was likely bad torque converter as well as separately that there were misses – likely due to carbon build-up.
Where is the solenoid on a 4L60E transmission?
The 4l60e TCC Solenoid is located on the front passenger side of the transmission near the valve body. The image below shows the locations of various solenoids.

Can You unplug the solenoid on a GM converter?
Generally, if you unplug the TCC solenoid at the transmission and the symptoms go away, you have found the problem. But sometimes this can be misleading because you don’t know for sure if it’s a bad solenoid, dirt in the valve body or a bad signal from the ECM.

What causes a GM torque converter to lock up?
Most of the time it is a stuck Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) solenoid, but this is not the only cause of this problem. General Motors has issued a few Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) relating to this problem. There is also a specific diagnostic procedure to determine the exact cause of the TCC problem.
