My car is a stock 92 gt with an aod, just recently i started getting a real bad shudder under hard acceleration, then noticed a light tranny fluid leak near the torque converter, not sure if its the front pump seal or what yet, but the real problem is that the car won't move forward or backwards till it gets close to 2000 rpms, the fluid still seems to be fresh not black or burnt smelling, is it the tranny or the converter, I would really hate to buy a converter if the tranny is shot, I got a donor 5-speed setup if all else fails, just really didn't want to have to change this one over, and the car has 88,000 miles on it if that makes a difference.

I'm gonna lean torwards converter. Sounds like its off balance which I would think would jack up your stall. Not 100% though.

yes fluids are filled back to full, but when it engages it doesn't slip into gear slowly it locks in all at once, like dumping the clutch in a standard, very violent.
