Subject:Auto Trans Rumbling

OK gang -

I've noticed that when in drive but stopped at a light or stop sign things
get very "rumbly". Low rumbling and vibration. It does not do this in
Neutral or park.

What gives? My brother says torque converter - but as much as I love him
he's a dork so I am asking you.

Things have been fine. So did I line something up wrong when I mated the new
engine to the trans? Low fluid (I haven't checked yet but will) - the fluid
shouldn't be low - I changed the filter and seal on the pan when while we
had it out.

Ok, I anxiously await your wisdom and reports of impending doom!!!!
