Torque Converter Repairs

[Stephen720]

Further to my previous link, I submit the 2 following questions.

1. How does glycol actually damage a T/C & or gear box

&

2. If the gearbox was subsequently to fail is this more likely to be sudden or am I likely to recognise symptoms and complete a journey.

Thanks,

Stephen

1. I don't know and probably only MB do. None of the literature that I have says what damage it does. I have the official repair documents handed out to technicians and it does not tell you there.

2. It will gradually fail probably. I suspect the gear chang will become v poor. who knows really.

I have not know a gear box fail badly EVER with the glycol problem.
