Default Which torque converter should I go with?
97 z28 A4 with the 4l60e transmission. I have a small leak coming from the housing wheep hole so I believe its the torque converter shaft seal. anyway since my mechanic is going to have my tc out to fix the seal I was thinking about putting a different stall in it. The car is basically stock other than exhaust and cold air intake. would a small 2000-2200 be a bad upgrade? If not what Kind would you Recomend? I appreciate your input.

You need to go way bigger if you want good gains. Like in the 3000 range. I have a 3400 stall and I love it. I gained 7 tenths and 2mph in the 1/4 mile.
