Question Problem with Vigilante Converter

Has anyone had any problems with their Vig. Coverter. Mine is a 3400 nitrous converter for a th350. The tranny was pushing fluid soon as I put the converter in "new Trans." So I rebuilt another TH350 so I could swap And see If my last trans. Had a problem I did pretty much the same thing. The converter has 3 passes on it. I have built quit a few Th350's w/ no problems. I know precision industires Has a good reputation and was wondering if my problem could be the converter. BTW I tore the first trans. down and the intermediate drum clutches were cooked other than that every thing in the trans was perfect with the exeption of alot of metal that could have only come from the converter. Any help would be appreciated.

If you think the converter shat junk into your trans, why would you put it back into a new trans? Send it to Vig and get it fixed.

If you need a converter by this weekend give FTI a call. Greg could probably build one for you and overnight it to you.

Didn't know that at the time, and it was a new converter I figured something went wrong with the Trans. since it was my first trans brake build.
