Torque Convertor???
I just got my tax return back and I wanted to get a upgraded torque convertor. I noticed that banks has one and I seen a few more in the last diesel power mag., I have around a grand to spend on it but I will spend more to get the best if I have to. I mostly want it for race, but I will be pulling my race car in the summer, but thats about all the pulling I plan on doing. I have straight pipe, afe stage 2, boost tube, chipped.

do you have any more info on the bts convertor? and do you know the price on that one.
Is there anything else that I should get while the trans will be out?
Thanks for the info

I am getting my BTS on 7 March, I will let you know. That may be to late if you are in a hurry. But the BTS is the Best recomendation that can be found on the forums. Warranty is solid and you can talk directly with Brian on your troubles and concearns. I have heard nightmare stories on ATS and others on there warranty replacement proceedures. Just do your own research and you will see. Just my 2 Cents.

i think i saw between 3 and 4K for the BTS.
but, if your not going that route, just do the BTS valve body, and the TC listed above, its the same one brian uses in all their trannys, though, i had seen it listed elsewhere for $900 a month ago.

Either go BTS or just go with the VB. A trans with miles is in danger of breaking. What if it breaks? Where do you think the debris goes? You will have to cut the TC apart to get it totally cleaned. I'd wait till it broke or just get a BTS trans with a new TC. That is what BTS recommended after I got the VB from him. Makes sense if you ask me.
BTW, after the diode locked up which was about a month after I installed the VB, BTS gave me credit for the VB towards the trans. This was even after he knew that there was burnt fluid in the trans and all that wonderful debris.

I would really like to get the whole tranny but I dont know how much time I have before I have to remove the tranny anyways. See the tranny is starting to leak and kinda needs to have the gasket replaced on it, and I have noticed that my TC has been kinda slipping, I just dont feel the power like I should. What usually goes out in these trannies? I have around 155k on the truck, when do you usually see failure in the trannies?

FYI - The BTS converter is a Precision Industries Stallion, it is a multi disc billet converter and I think Brian prices them a little over $1100. I put one in my truck with the valve body from BTS, and it's been holding up fine under quite a bit of abuse. Personally I think with a good converter and valve body the transmission is much improved.
