SES keeps coming on for torque convertor stuck open....What's weird is, whenever I drive the vehicle, it never comes on. When the wife drives it, it's been coming on more frequently. I really can't afford to drop $$$ for a new transmission. I'll continue to monitor but this may be the last straw.

- At a stand-still if I let off the gas, the vehicle moves/pulls away
- At rolling speed, if I take my foot off the gas pedal, the revs hold (slightly drop after a second)
- Transmission shifts fine, no slipping
- 2-1 downshift is much better since new fluid/filter and software. Still present but not as bad

I've read that I should address the TC sooner rather than later to not destroy the rest of the transmission? Most people buy re-man TC or new TC's, and others just buy a completely new transmission. Almost 130k on this transmission.
