Questions on the Vig Multi-disk I've searched but can't decifer any of the info.
I have a vig 3200. It sucks around town. Gas milage took a plung. It truely stalls to around 3700-3800 like everyone says.
1.) What is shift extension. I keep seeing this, but I don't understand.
2.) It seems that for a multi-disk that it is truely rated for it's stall. (my 3200 acts like a 3600 or 3800. Multi's. 4000 acts like a 4000). So if these are more efficent for driving around town I should get a 4000?
3.) They seem to be better for around town cruising. My car is my only car, daily driver. A couple of people said that the 4000 multi acts like a 2500 around town, but still gets going to 4000 when you nail it. Someone with experience let me know?
4.) What would it cost to get it changed and re-stalled to a 4000 multi? What is the Turn around on this?
I don't really like the car always stalling around 2500-3000 just trying to go 30-35. I seem to always be going 40mph just to get the thing to lock-up. From what I've read the 4000 multi-disk SEEMS to fit my requirement, but I just don't know.

2. rating doesn't matter; only the true (observed) stall speed matters.
3. Can't comment based upon direct experience, but if the 3200 multidisk uses the same pump & stator combo as a regular 3200, then the assumption is false.
4. Probably a couple hundred bucks for the conversion. Maybe what you really want is a Vig 2800. That would be a free restall if you bought the converter new within the past year. The multi-disk lock-up has no bearing on looseness since the converter is unlocked below 40 mph.
If you have tuning software, raise your part throttle shift points by 10 - 20%. That will tighten things up a bit.

Ok. Thanks for responding. I'll try raising the shift points 1st. From what the search found some are saying that the multi-disk slightly drags the clutches and that is why it seems to be a little more effiecent from unlocked to locked.
I don't want to go backwards to a 2800. I do like the 3200 for it's performance. I was hoping this might be a better converter and fit my needs a little more. I'll compromise before I step back.
