    Hey guys, Getting my tranny rebuilt finally

    Got it pulled out of the car , had metal shavings in fluid, lost 3rd, but my buddy corey said im gonna have to get the Stall rebuilt, or flushed, or something to that extent? im running a 3250 with my turbo setup.


    What should i do? The converter has 3000 miles on it.

    never reuse a torque converter that was on a blown tranny. it will kill the new tranny.

    buy a new one. its the safest bet.

    And another question, Andrew Schnicke is the one going to be building my trans, he said he uses Stock GT converters in most setups, Would that mess with my setup being i had a 3250, Or what differences would there be

    stall speed is how high the rmp's climb to while holding the brakes and giving it gas. like to launch off the line. thus having your engine rpm's in the engines power range at launch.

    if its a just a drag car that would be fine, but for a daily driver 3200 seems high, gas mileage may suffer. stock is around 1800 or 2000 iirc.

    2500 may work out well, these engines seem to make good power at lower rpms.
