Yup, you sure will. My car has died when shifting from reverse to drive about 5 times in the past week. Once in gear, you won't have a problem though. Check out TSP mail order tune. It's $200 right now and from my understanding, retunes are free forever.

I believe the problem is the difference in the outer diameter of the stock door stop compaired to the performance TC.
I had to have my idle raised to 800 RPM out of gear, and 650 RPM in gear for a Y3000 stall.

i have a tci ssf 4200 stall and it's pretty much fine....i'm sure it could use a tune, and the idle goes from 1k to 800 idling in drive, but it drives fine.....but it seems like similar converters in even slightly different cars cause different reactions......
