my new tranny rocks
thats right. the 3200 stall is ok wish it was a bit higher. i have to be carefull when i floor it at 40 mph. the rpms will jump to 5k lock up and then my tires turn to a cloud of smoke. at part throttle you really dont feel it shift hard its smooth like a lincoln or something. once i get on it and it hooks up it shifts real fuggin hard especially the 2-3 shift. i hope i dont break the rear anytime before i leave for korea.
you auto guys need a torque converter. my car drives like its stock then once i get into the throttle nothing really happens till 3k rpms then it feels like you got rear ended and you look in the rear view mirror only to see smoke. |
Thats why when you go to a looser convertor they recomend making your shifts firmer becuase when the convertor is unlocked its doesnt shift very firm (feel wise). But yeah a convertor was one of the best things i ever did to my truck. THis was before PI and all those guys did convertors i had a B&M and it was really awsome. It really makes driving an auto a ton funner. plus you still get to cruise in stop and go tranny easy because your still an auto.
I just hope you have a very large tranny cooler. A looser highstall convertor will heat your tranny fluide up ALOT more. Have fun with that sucker :) |
:D Sweet..:D

Have fun with that sucker :) i exaggerated a bit when i said like a lincoln. i still feel a slight kick its just not as rough as the stock tranny. my shift pressures are already turned up from the tune. i have a new tune that has end user adjustments i just need to get to a dyno and have it checked, or get a wideband. its good that i can adjust because i can change all of my shift points and shift pressure. |
I'll be upgrading my convertor as soon as I get home and rip the motor apart. I gotta find a convertor before I rip into the motor and put it back in.
Also got a 2.9 rr pulley to boot. So say good by to 13 psi with the 3.4 pulley |
Because its a higher stall it lets the motor rev higher untill it locks because its looser, which i am sure you have noticed. While it does this its heating up the tranny fluide laot more then the stocker did. Dont worry you have a large tranny cooler and will be fine. thats the same one i had on my truck it never went over 180* even in the dead heat of summer in central florida.

I need to check to see how much an upgrade would cost with my converter. I want at least 3800.
