torque converter

[GREG91GT]

how can you tell if a converter is to loose for a car?

 

[rsw007]

have it custom converter built to your application www.edgeracingconverters.com. call andre at edge and he can answer any question you have about converters.

thanks man i will call him, this is a custom converter it was built for another mustang, with just about the same mods, and the cars weight the same, it just dont seem right, i dont have to have a trans brake just the foot brake its a pretty nice converter

Its loose when you give it gas ( a good amount ) and your barely moving.From a stop.

[GREG91GT]

somtimes it feels like it is pulling hard and other times it dont kind of hard to explaine it will foot brake at about 4000 with drag radials on the street havent had it at the track yet

 

[rsw007]

do you have a lot of mods? thats alot of stall

 

[GREG91GT]

YES I HAVE ALLOT OF MODS

If you lost a lot of mph through the traps, it's probably too much converter. What did it run before the converter change, and what does it run now? ET and mph please.

Second that,thats is a lots of stall for a street car and it is slowly burning up your tranny. Suggest you take it out asap.

IT IS NOT A STREET CAR I JUST GOT IT FINISHED LIKE A WEEK AGO HAVE NOT HAD A CHANCE TO TAKE IT TO THE TRACK YET IT IS RUNNING VERY VERY RICH NEED TO GET THAT STRAIT FIRST

What gear do you have in the car? If at anytime the car shifts and runs under 4000rpm- then your stall is way too big. There are other things to look at as well but thats the most obvious tip I can think of. The last timne one of my automatics started stalling super high it was because the think was cooking and eventually burned up completely. Be carefull. At 4000rpm it must be a 9" or smaller converter....right?

 

[GREG91GT]

I AM RUNNING 410 GEARS AND IT IS A 8 INCH CONVERTER, IF I SHIFT AT 6000 IT ONLY DROPS LIKE 800 RPM
