i had my transmission rebuilt. i'm still having problems. i was told my solenoids went bad due to a bad torque converter. well my car is starting to act up again although not as bad, yet. the shop told me they put in bad solenoids so they will have to replace them. this is the second time they put in a bad part. it's either that or it is an electrical problem. so now i'm really doubting whether the TC needed replaced to begin with.

i can't find info on what happens to a car if the torque converter is bad. the problem i experienced was in drive the car/transmission would jerk really bad and it wasn't safe to drive. but in 2nd the car would run smoothly. if the TC was going bad would i still be able to drive my car in 2nd with no problem?

any help would be appreciated. i've been frustrated for about a month now.
