GT86 Automatic Transmission Converter Fault

I'm really stressed! My 2015 Toyota GT86, gasoline engine, is giving me major headaches. The check engine light and transmission indicator light are both on. It feels like the gearbox slips, shifts are unclean, and I even hear grinding noises sometimes. The error memory has a fault stored; they say it's likely a defective automatic transmission converter. Anyone else had this?

The problem is likely due to a defective automatic transmission converter, specifically related to the torque converter or lock-up clutch. The suggested solution is to take the vehicle to a workshop for repair, which may be costly.

I had something similar happen in my GT86. Was it the torque converter? They call it a converter fault or converter failure sometimes, something with the lock-up clutch. Does it happen when you're shifting?

Yes, it's when shifting! So, you are saying you had the same symptoms and error codes, and it was the torque converter or lock-up clutch? What did you do?

Yep, same deal. Grinding noises, slipping, all the lights. I bit the bullet and took it to a workshop. Turned out the automatic transmission converter was indeed defective. Cost me a pretty penny.

Thanks for confirming. I feared as much. I guess I'll have to do the same and get it to a workshop. My wallet is going to cry, especially since the repair cost is estimated to be 2120€. Thanks again!
