Lacetti torque converter failure

I'm having an issue with my 2006 Chevrolet Lacetti gasoline. It's done 236094 km. The check engine light and the transmission indicator light have both come on. I'm getting gearbox slips and unclean shifts, as well as some grinding noises when it shifts. I've checked the error memory and it indicates a defective torque converter lock-up clutch. Does this sound like a total converter failure? It almost feels like an engine surge at times.

I had a similar issue with my Lacetti. Were you getting any shuddering at cruising speed before all this started?

Shuddering, not really. Just the slipping and the error codes. Did yours end up being the converter?

Yes, the lock-up clutch in my converter was shot. Best to get it checked out by a reputable transmission workshop; sounds like you're heading for the same expensive repair.

Thanks for confirming my suspicions. I took it to a shop, and they've verified it's the torque converter. Repair cost is estimated at 2120€. Ouch!
