Why refresh unless you are going with a different stall speed?

i just bought a used ss3600 and just want to make sure that its all good before i put it into a brand new tranny.

they can take an ss3600 and make it a 4000 right?

Blackhawk777

Yeah they can restall to a higher speed. Looking for something more than the 3600??? If I had the cash, I'd just straight up buy yours.

It's a great converter, but you know how greedy people get modding cars, if the trans ever went, i was wondering if i could send it in to get it reworked and a higher stall.

I wouldn't want to pull a converter just to sell it. It wasn't fun putting it in.

Blackhawk777

So I've heard. I'm looking at the same converter you got, but with my 3.73 gears and the eaton posi. Should be fun.

Well below is a bit of an email I got from Dave at Yank.

The only time a converter goes bad is when a bearing fails or you loose a transmission and it puts contamination into the converter.

ok thanks man i was not sure but now i am i just called them and they pretty much said the same thing ill just send it to a local tranny shop and just get it flushed

I don't think that's true for the lock up clutch.

tording99Z28

Yeah, I am pretty sure that if its been slipping in its life it can burn up the lockup clutch in the converter and then it techniclly would need at least a new lockup clutch. I would do what you said and send it in just to make sure, would be better to pay $300 for that than $2000 for another new tranny.

Well I asked Dave (from Yank) should I send in my converter for a refresh and he said no. That at my power level and mileage on it that unless something goes in the tranny it should last 5-7 years. Once again this is not me-this is someone from Yank.

Chameleon TA had over 100k miles on his with hundreds of passes and he said his was fine.

I have a 1999 Firehawk stock motor, 38K, Yank 3500, lock up clutch is bad. Converter is 7yrs old.

Stupid question here probably, but can a 4L60E Yank SS3800 be updated to a 4L80E trans? If I ever go turbo, i'll be upgrading to atleast a 4L80E

Yes it is a SS3800, Yank used to make it with that stall

no sir. completely different animal.
the input, and pump is different. and someone posted not to long ago about some other differences.

if the tranny was good from the guy you bought it from, you should be ok.
but who is to say the guy didnt blow his tranny and thats why he sold the converter?
if you trust the seller, then bolt it up and go, IMO.

2002 Trans Am

Oh no I bought my converter brand new, I was just planning ahead if I do a turbo setup
