Tranny Problems

[50psi]

Ok here's the situation, i start my '83 t-type, and it idles fine, but when i put it into gear the engine about dies and tires start spinning while in place, i literally have to hold the brake all the way in to hold the car back.....my question is, this a tranny problem or something else.....please drop all of your guys' knowledge on me...Thanks

Torque converter?

Sounds to me like your torque converter is screwed up. Have you dropped the pan to check for shavings?

no not yet, also the car vacs at idle at 20, but in gear it looses vac and goes to like 5, any thoughts

TCC solinoid is locking the convertor.

TCC solinoid is a job you can do yourself

do some searching in this section, and check around for pricing,
not much harder than a trans filter change.
