4l80e stalls when in gear like converter locked Trying to figure out another issue with this 4l80e.. Swapped a used 80e with hd2 shift kit and 10" ptc converter into my wife's 01 camaro ss. Trying to pull it out of the garage and it's like the converter is locked. Put in gear it may lung a few inches sorta violently then stall. I used a Nelson Performance adapter for the main plug on the harness and ran 2 wires to Ecu to control input speed sensor. I swapped a factory 80e segment into Ecu.
Checked pressure.. With ECU control idle to 1300 rpm
Park-95
Reverse- 140
Neutral- 80
4- 90-100
3- 80-100
2- 130
1- 150ish
NO ECU control
Park- 180
Reverse - 280
Neutral - 180
Drive - 180
These numbers look good to me but i dont know ****... But looks like the converter should not be locked... Im thinking I have a converter issue? I was told there is a seal in there and if it goes bad it locks converter all the time
I should of added this was with the car in the air rear wheels off the ground to not stall
Also added ground strap to the transmission no change

I thought my triple was dragging also.
My trans guy just installed the sonnax PR line to lube valve in the pump as he didn't drill the hole in the pump when he rebuilt it and it made a difference.

Wish i had a dragging issue, its like accidently slipping the clutch on a manual. sorta violent lung and stall. So its a PTC Single disk suppose to be 36-3800 stall. I borrowed a loaner converter off a buddy today and swapped it today. Same thing even with the other converter. Definitely transmission related now. Just what the hell it is I have no clue. I have another trans lined up to pick up today or tomorrow. Would love to fix this one and just sell it but I dont know where to begin.
