Default Custom TCI 3200 converter installed

I love the way it feels. Wakes up the car quite nicely. Hard to tell how much quicker it is with my street tires as it spins too much but I think .5 is definitely obtainable with Nittos. The 30mph punch didn't improve as much as I thought it would, or maybe it's all in my head. It helps out the 40mph "dead spot" a ton though. The converter locks up good, the tranny shifts smooth, so far overall I'm pleased with the size of stall. One thing, though, I'm getting a slight vibration/noise coming from the converter/tranny at around 1800-2200rpms, mainly right at 2000rpms. What could cause this?

Will have track times within the next 2 weeks.

Re-install the converter with it rotated one bolt-hole from where it is now. 9 times out of 10 it'll fix the vibration. Don't ask me why.

Though it'll suck to have to re-install it, it's a lot better than having to get a new one. Hope it works, thanks colonel.

I may be wrong here. I think you can do that by dropping the starter and turning thr crank to get to the bolts.

Colonel, is there any reason he has to "re-install" the converter? Would it not be the same if he were to just pull the starter, remove all the converter bolts, turn the flywheel 120 degrees (without the converter moving) and re-install the bolts and starter?
