RE: Resistance issue...please read
Your torque converter may have failed..... A torque converter must be used when running an automatic transmission and is sometimes considered part of the transmission. The torque converter is a separate entity from the transmission and serves three primary functions. First, the torque converter, like the name denotes, transfers engine torque to the transmission. This also allows the vehicle to come to a complete halt without stalling. Not only does the torque converter transfer engine torque to the transmission and the transaxle gear-train but is also amenable for multiplying that same engine torque to the transmission. This is the torque converter's secondary function and results in greater vehicle performance. Thirdly, the torque converter provides a direct-drive, or mechanical link from the engine to the transmission. This is versed through the use of a torque-converter clutch.
