PROJECT delayed because of violent shudder!! hows everyone doing? im doing pretty shi**y.
i have been putting this car together for almost a year now, since i was in college and doing it at the same time..its taking me quite sometime. But i am patient when it comes to expensive investments.
okay moving on, i have a mildly built 5.3L in an old camaro tuned and ready to go. I also have a built 700r4 with trans go stage 2 shift kit, and some other beefed up parts. i went with a Daaco torque converter around 2800-3200 stall. my problem now after driving for a mile or two is shudder, violent shudder. I can almost predict when its going to start, my rpms drop and it trys to stall the engine completely and its rough. I can turn the car off, and wait then start again.... go about a mile and it comes back. my TC solenoid was my first guess...so i removed my toggle switch for it...so that it cant engage at all. i dont want to believe that the tranny is gone, cuz its fairly new. but i cant seem to not think its the torque converter. all the symptoms of my TC slipping and clunking are here to stay.
Sorry for such a long and thorough post, just looking for a long and thorough answer. lol
some tips of what i know as far as right now:
-tcc is disengaged
-TV cable is adjusted right
-have not tested mainline pressure tough
-trans mount is secure
-drive shaft is fine

the rearend is the original from 1986.. 10 bolt 2.73:1
i had a fiend tell me to re-do my rearend with a lower gear and it will make a world of difference.. true? like 3.73 or 4.11
