stall & stock tranny...
stall & stock tranny... So just looking for some information here guys.
Ive been thinking about my next mod, maybe being a stall. I know the popular favorite seems to be the 3600. So i would probably go with that, but at the same time. Im new to stalls & transmissions, so im hesitant because idk how long the stock tranny would hold with this size stall. I just cant afford for the tranny to go out on me, this is my daily driver.
In the future i wanna go with a Performabuilt trans, when i get the funds for one but for now. I would like to get some opinions and information as to how this setup would do?? What would be an "ok" estimate as to how long the stock tranny would hold?? I know, you really dont know how long it could hold but if you've had experience with this setup. How long did your's hold??
By the way, i dont race very much. Im sure that has something to do with how long the tranny will hold as well.

I've probably got 8-10k on my stock auto with the SS3600. Love it.
I'm going to have it restalled to a PT4000 as soon as I finish this cam swap, that may make it not like me very much.
I'd say as long as you don't do the 4-3 WOT shift all to often, or throw drag radials on it and dead hook it often you should be ok. Hell I don't even have TM on mine, you could leave that in for peace of mind I guess but I just said screw it.
Install a cooler.

It will depend on miles and upkeep of the stock trans. @ 100k the stock trans is usually in need of a rebuild....
I want to add a stall but I'm hesitant...I'll probably take advantage of Performabuilts layaway program

if you DD and cant afford the trans/car to be down then dont mod at all. thats the easiest solution. the more mods you do the more you have to work on your car.
I didnt know they had a layaway program. I may just go that route then.

If this is the case then why bother? Why would you want a 3600 stall on your car you are not going to race? Makes no sense to me.

You can't see a converter; it does not make the car sound good like a cam; it does nothing for the apperance or the sound of the car. He is not going to race it, so it makes no sense at all to have a huge converter.
In the end, its just going to be a nice, fun street car.

The 3600 works great from a roll.
