    Recommend me a torque converter...

    That would be because I told him to screw off. The real question is why is stalking someone you know nothing about to bad mouth them so important to you? Have you had damaged parts that I built in your hands? No you saw pictures that competitors of mine showed to you. You are only seeing one...

    Recommend me a torque converter...

    Just because you read about it on a forum doesn't mean you know the people. The truth is you just like to run your mouth without a clue. If you notice all situations that claim to have the problems root from the same vendor. The only person you do know who you claim has a problem will not make...

    Recommend me a torque converter...

    It is amazing how a person can know absolutely nothing about something or someone yet have absolutely no problem degrading them in public every chance he gets. Your word is spit because you know nothing about what you speak. Alan

    Recommend me a torque converter...

    Problems with them are that their converter is nothign more than a cavalier converter with ford splines. Non billet lightweight front cover, excessively weak lockup piston, unbrazed parts, weak roller clutch and even if you pay for the upgraded parts to make them strong enough they won't put...

    Recommend me a torque converter...

    And this is a guy who has never owned anything from me and has no clue what he is talking about....Here we go again I have done more of these converters than about anyone out there. All in all I was trying to say that spenind money on a marauder converter to increase stall on a markVIII is not...

    Recommend me a torque converter...

    I do that for people all the time. Usually they only have to buy a marauder converter if they have a car like a thunderbird that doesn't already have the 11&1/4 diameter converter. For these markVIII's if you can find a 96+ converter (mustang GT units are the same) you don't really need to buy...

    93 MARK VIII converter swap

    A 96+ mustang converter is identical to any 96+ mark. It is an upgrade to a 93 because it has a better lockup piston. Alan

    trans issue

    Looks about right to me. :) You could try an updated mlps I have seen this problem exist from one. Usually direct clutch failure is the most common. Alan

    Unleashing the mystery of the 5r55n/s/w converter

    I wouldn't go as far as to say they were lying. I can tell that last I heard lidio had gone faster on a stock transmission than anyone. After talking to him at FFW he seems to know what he is doing. His phone is 586.949.7505 call him and get his expert opinion before you do anything. Alan

    Unleashing the mystery of the 5r55n/s/w converter

    These transmissions are completely electronically controlled. The only way I have seen the shift kit work is by putting springs in the solenoids. I don't suggest that either. You can have a good tuner (Lidio knows more about these than anyone I know of) do just as much with it through the pcm...

    Unleashing the mystery of the 5r55n/s/w converter

    I promised to show you guys this stuff. These are actually one of the best converters ford has built for a car application in years. The only converter nearing this stall was the 10 inch c4 units in the mustangII's These converters are 10.5 inches in diameter and have a k-factor of 165 giving...

    Stall converters....

    No Mark ever came with an LSD they all had traction control. Sadly a converter on these cars (LS) isn't a huge gain like most cars. The LS's had very high stall factory converters They stall 2500-2800 the way they are. The stock units can be adjusted for about 3200 very easily. I think the...

    trans issue

    Sounds like the direct clutch and/or overdrive band is fried to me. The intermediate one way will dump sprapnel in the pan most of the time and 2nd will be the troublesome gear. Alan

    The LPW cover is $220. Hard to beat that deal. Alan

    The more things I fix... the more that break, lol

    The issue was most definately in the trans, I did nothing but weld the converter back together and immediately sent him the pictures. I never doubted the tune on Chris's car. The forward drum blew up in it first. Alan
