Default How long have you had your torque converter?

How long has everyone had their torque converter? Is there any extra maintenance required? Does the converter put any additional stress on the tranny? Any problems, suggestions, comments on getting a converter or owning one would be helpful. I'm looking into one.

Just search this forum and you'll get all the answers you need. I've had my converter in for almost a year now and love everything about it.

I've had my Pro Torque since August. No problems....I'd never go back to a stock stall, that's for sure. Just make sure you get a decent sized tranny cooler and you'll be set. (I got a B&M 24,000GVW cooler)

What would you recommend for a 2.73 LT1 car running street tires, bolt-ons.

My vig is over 5 years old now, with 70k miles. It's fine as far as I know. I just do the trans fluid change once a summer.
