I met a fellow through a mutual friend who has a stall and flex plate that he wants $150 for both, says it's a 2300-2800 stall, I ask which was it, 2300, 2400, 2500, 2600,2700 or 2800. He says they fluctuate but he would call it a 2500. My question is there a way to know exactely what it is and also ask him the condition, he said he pulled it out of a car he bought and it was doing fine and that convertors are either bad or good, no such as going bad, anybody wanna help me, I don't know these auto's, give me a pressure plate, disc, throw out bearing and a gearbox I'm home free but am very lost here...help?
The torq convertor is what a lot of transmission techs call the garbage pit of the transmission . I would not buy one used . I would buy one remand or new an start fresh . Just from what I have learned over the years of having them rebuilt myself .Good luck friend .
I've always been told to never use a converter from another trans, or reuse one after a rebuild so you dont contaminate your trans. Not sure how to tell the stall by looking at it, but you should buy a converter that best suits your combo.
stall It came out of the same set up I have 302/C4, do I understand correctly NOT to use a rebuilt converter only new?
got ya ok I got it, a rebuilt unit is ok, not using a used unit on a rebuilt tranny, I'll take yall's advice instead of saving a few dollars:Handshake
Converter stall varies by the amount of torque the engine produces, no such thing as a fixed number due to different engine configuration, displacement, etc...
