Going to put in the order for a Yank SS3600. I wanted some feedback from folks running a yank SS series as far as street manners and if anyone is still having issues with any "shutter" problems. Any feedback would be much appreciated. Thanks.

im running that exact converter and its great for the street. I felt it at first but now im used to it and can't even tell its there. It launches like a beast though. You will need to tune it for shift points and lock/lockup points for optimal driving..

I have a SS4000 and love it. I went to that from a ST3500 and felt very little difference in every day driveability. The difference was in WOT. Very tight verter around town and I have 3.23's. Tuning is a must....felt like a whole new animal after the tune compared to before. I have lock-up disabled in 3rd gear since mine wanted to shudder at lower speeds. It locks in 4th at 40 MPH+. You'll love the SS3600.

Ive been running a 4000ss converter for 3k now. I think it feels very loose even with the 370 gears. Its great on the track and in any racing situation. The 3600 should be perfect around town and at the track.

Absolutely love my SS3600!! Perfect for everyday use. My buddy liked mine so much he bought one too!! He couldn't decide if he wanted a 2800-3200 stall or go with the Yank SS3600. After driving mine around the block and back he was sold!!

SS3600 Here. had it for 20,000 miles behind 2 different engine combo's. The street manners of this converter are great. You will take a little time to adjust to it but you wont regret the purchace.

Thanks to all...I will be getting the tune, deep tranny pan and a cooler along with it. Also having true duals put on to the bumper. All will be done by the fine folks at SpeedInc. here in Illinois. They are truly a great shop! Gave me a much better deal on the whole verter install than other shops in the area...

Will have a used GMMG for sale in September. Watch EBAY if interested...

Again, thanks for the info and feedback...

For those of you on an SS3600 what do you run for a street tire and what is traction like?

Nitto 275 40 17's. Hit or miss on traction.

M/T ET streets275-40-17 , traction is better now with stall and tires than b4 on street tires and no stall.From a slow roll traction is no problem fron a stop its better than b4 too.

I tuned a buddy's car with the SS3600. Before we started, he would get shudder when it tried to lock. After tuning, smooth as silk and ran like a scalded dog. We also tuned his car not to lock in 3rd gear, it's just more fun that way.

Perfect vertor for street/strip. I've had various 3200 and they are no big deal. Had PT4400 + PT4000 - serious WOT and ok on the street - SS series seems perfect for n/a street duty.

Sorry for bring this post back to life. But i've been interested in both the SS3600 and the
Vig.3200 converters. I thought i had my mind made up, but i'm glad i used the search button. How can anyone say they had shudder issues with the SS3600 then say they just got used to it. A high dollar part should not shudder under no conditions. I thought i remembered little issues like this, but when i emailed Yank they said to me they never heard of any issues. Well thats a little deceptive from such a stand up company. It surprises me that people had shuddering and didn;t return it. I would be concerned about it cause premature tranny failure. Man this bites. Well like a guy told me today, just to stick with a Vig. since i had one in my WS6 and didn;t have 1 issue even when i added a 125 wet shot. I trapped over 127mph with the N2O. My converter didn't slip or miss a beat. And i kept AutoTap running to keep an eye on tranny temps. They were in the 180 degree range on the N2O run, so i dont think it was slipping that much or not at all. Man i bummed out..lol. My luck bites..everytime i like something, i gotta hear that there's some issue. I know its a small issue, but for the cost, shudder and lockup issues shouldn't be an issue. Oh well thats racing.
