97 Tahoe Braking - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

1997 Chevy Tahoe (Automatic tranny)- When pulling up to a stoplight or stop anywhere, and applying the brake, sometimes there is a grinding sound like the clutch isn't disengaging all the way. When this happens, I let off of the pedal a little so the engine doesn't die. This happens once every 4-5 times. Its getting worse. I think its something simple that's not causing it to disengage. The local chevy dealer thinks it might be the torque converter solenoid. I don't know if that's exactly what it is, but I'd rather fix it myself than pay him 300-500 bucks to replace a simple solenoid. Can anyone help with this?
