What converter are you running? I've lost a few very well built a4's because of the converter clutch going out, then taking out the front pump....then you know what happens lol.

Yup, found out first hand when my 3400 ptc spit shavings into my 60e. I now have a Vigilante 4000 stall in it. The converter already feels night and day better than the ptc i had before. Can't wait to get to the track with it.

Did you make any passes before the trans started to give out? The most popular swap seems to be the 4l80e. You could also just have your 4l60e sent in and built. Btw your car is sick!

I know several people that have done the th400 swap in their f-bodies, and if I ever go auto ageing that is the way I would do it....but after 4 tranny swaps in mine (dead 4l60s) I swapped to a good old 3 speed Saginaw manual
