Subject: RE:Torque Converter--which one and why by PeteK on 2008/1/26 2:14:01 Quote: When on CF, I was talking to PeteK about a converter. I then got a PM from fuddle, telling me that I should buy a brand name converter, not a converter from a private seller. I thought that was pretty tacky and turned me off to them no matter how good their converter might be. I ended up buying a used TCS converter. It has a 12" back and a 9.5" front. Kind of wierd looking but the idea is that the kevlar lockup clutch is bigger than a 9.5" therefore works better and lasts longer, but the front is 9.5" so the weight is down and performance is good. It doesn't feel like stock but it is very driveable. I wouldn't want it if I were worried about gas mileage tho as mine went down with the new converter. Of course my foot got a little heavier at the same time! Funny that Fuddle would say this. It is possible that I have more satisfied customers on the Corvette Forum than Fuddle does. They poitively have more UNSATISFIED customers (on the corvette forum) than I do. It is ironic, because Floor Covering is my legitimate business. To my knowledge, I only have 1 less than thrilled customer. I provided a free restall, and free shipping back to him, and have not heard back, thus I assume he is satisfied. Not too bad for a private individual. |
