The “Rumble” Sound / Torque converter TC

We gave the name to this problem “rumble strip sound” because of the sound and feel like driving over a rumble strip on side of the freeway. This “Rumble” Torque converter (TC) noise can be resulting from a few things which include wrong transmission fluid oil or lack of fluid level, etc. This issue can affect any Sprinter (except 4 cylinders eng). Why? The answer is not complicated, but the repair is complicated. The lock-up clutch of TC wears out and this is the main reason a shuddering in certain circumstances the transmission work. To fix this we need to take a few steps. We will get out the transmission, and we rebuild your TC and we will use HD (heavy- duty) parts and reinstall. TC after rebuilding is more durable than the original. And also you will find that it is less costly than a new one (MB still put to use weak construct). Parts & labor $1200 — $1350
