The converter works but you can only tell the quality when you switch to a good converter. I had a customer gain .4 at the track switching from a TCI 3500stall to a yank 3600 stall. The yank converter drove a hell of alot better on the street too.

Well pulled the trans yesterday... Wow did she smell burnt...ATF was a lil burnt... Came out rather easy...Didnt have to drop the exhaust woooo hoo....Trans is getting sent out tuesday... Did notice something was rubbing against the driveshaft about 4" away from the end of the shaft... Going to buy new u joints and rear output shaft seal and await the transmission coming back... woo hooo

PLEASE tell me your sending out the converter too?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

LOL I was about to ask that...

And seriously, just throw away the cooler and get a new one, not worth the risk of hoping a flush gets all the crap out of it.

Motaboata 01-17-2011 08:14 PM

convertor is not underwarranty... so its not getting sent out... but my buddy who pulled trans with me works @ AAMCO... so i am going to have him take it to work and have rebuilder go through it
