During the initial period (the first year after your braces come off) you will wear it 24/7 for several months. Later, your orthodontist will tell you that it's OK to wear it only at night -- every night. After another year goes by, you can wear it several nights per week.
As mentioned, converter shudder is usually temperature related. As transmission fluid recycles back through the engine turbine, it picks up frictional heat. Once the amount of heat generated by this friction surpasses the transmissions cooler's ability to shed it, the fluid thins and power transfer becomes inconsistent.ransmissions can shudder in a very similar manner to torque converters. To determine whether the shudder is tranny or TC related, run your vehicle for a little while till it begin to shudder and immediately park it. With your foot on the brake, put the transmission in Drive, and apply light throttle.
Once a torque converter begins screeching or rattling it is only a matter of time before the converter fails. Sometimes, when a torque converter fails, it literally explodes. When this happens, bits and pieces of metal are pushed into the transmission, which can cause catastrophic transmission failure. Replacing a torque converter can cost between $200 to $250 if you do the work yourself or from $500 to $1,000 or more if you have a repair shop do the work. â Banging or Clunking Noise A banging or clunking noise coming from the transmission or transaxle when the shifter lever is moved from Park into any gear is likely an internal problem.
