then have it rebuilt and tuned NOT to use the lock up. its a 4 cyl. converter much like the one in that tear down comparo. id get it rebuilt buy a shop that KNOWS what there doing. not just pull it open and have a peak inside. theres alot of things that can make that converter not suck. TCI does none of them. Why they suck for 4L60E's. But small stuff like furnace brazed stator and such can make a converter Much more consistent.

i dunno. Plus 2 blown trannys and that converter was in both....... tells me it aint helping the way it sits.

If cash is an issue just put a stocker in. Ask Don, he probably has a pile of them. Then you can drive the car and save for a quality unit. I just can't see how it's worth the risk. You know what they say, pay a little now or a lot later.

If you keep smoking tranny's you throw out the converter and trans cooler.Allitle bit of tranny shit can take out the whole new setup.

Save $$ now,cost alot later. If it's going back to performacrap then just run the stuff the way it is because it will shit itself again.

Well I found out why trans went bad again... Called company.. They said it was a convertor issue, lol. Gears everything was fine inside EXCEPT metal everywhere... They said in filters etc... so they have to rebuild anyway.... Yippy
