Torque Converter
I was wondering if anyone had an issue with thier torque converter? It seems mine is going out. When the car is going through a gear there is a slight hesitation before the power kicks in. Everything freezes for a split second, boost, power everything. We really noticed it on the dyno lastnight.
The replacement I saw TCI 3000 stall, seemed like a decent price.
I only noticed this after we installed the Kooks LT headers, Kooks offroad xpipe, (removed the cats) changed the oil to royal purple and added motor mounts.

RE: Torque Converter
If you are going to go through the trouble of replacing the converter why would you buy a TCI?
It is simply an OEM that has had the impeller angles changed slightly. Cheap does not necessarily mean good, if you know what I mean.
You should look in to the other TC manufacturers out there
TCI makes a few good choices and Level 10 has a billett converter that eliminates the two-piece flex plate. I have the Level 10 converter.
There are a few people that have had problems with TCI converters thatI know of and have since replaced it.
