Ive got a 2000 GT automatic and found out that there are several different bolt patterns for the flex plate. To be more spacific im in the market for a torque converter in the neigborhood of 2800-3000 rpm stall. The very few manufacturers list different bolt patterns and i have no clue what i have.
It would also help if i got some advise for a prefered brand of torque converter. I drive soft and i usually make it to the track about once every two months.

a 2000 gt should have a 6 bolt flexplate.. I am not aware of any other difference off hand..

BTW I would get a stall in the 3600 range considering the stock stall is close to 2600 already.. I really like the PI converters myself. at minimun I would go 3200

Your making the right move getting a converter.. one of the best mods for a auto car.. Also remember to get a good sized trans cooler.
 
its not the crank to flex plate im worried about, its the converter to flex plate i cant figure out. there are two different patterns 10 5/8 and 11.4 i think those are the two. And i think stock stall is 1400-1500. I put it in drive and literally stand on the brake petal then slowly ease the gas. it breaks the tires loose @ about 1400.
I found B+M pn#50403 3,000 stall and TCI pn#433800. However different web sites say the TCI 433800 is a 3000 stall and others say 3800. big difference.:bang:
