How safe is this stall for a dd?
How safe is this stall for a dd? Just wondering what I'm looking at in terms of tuning and reliabilty of this stall. I was thinking a Fuddle 3400 (2.1 str) or similar stall with a cooler. How reliable are these on stock a4s? Can I tune for it using my predator? Do I require a shift kit?
Thanks guys.
Thanks guys.
60,000 it should probably still be in pretty good shape. with a smaller stall like you're interested in and a cooler you should be good. check the fluid to see if it's still pink or if it's brownish and burnt. i have 100k miles on my car, trans has been serviced regularly, and fluid is still fresh but i'm not going to risk it since it's my daily driver. i'm saving up so when it goes i can just throw in a built one so i won't have to worry.
The stall doesnt brake the trans the go pedal does. The transmission will show wear and tear just like we do. The harder you beat on it the more wear it shows.I recomend a cooler as well and a shift kit wouldnt hurt.
A SRLS series billet 9.5" 3600 is one of the most popular converters for these cars with great driveability and low heat generation.

Verdad Gallardo Ditto as Chris said. This is why you would want a billet cover and a billet lock up piston like ours or chris's with a large lining. We use a propeitary lining designed and tested for extreme duty applications.

i am kinda in the same boat looking for a good stall but want it to be easily driveable when used on the streets, would say a 3600 be pushin the driveability on a stock 60e? If so what would you recommend? I hear a lot of guys out there wishing they went "bigger" on their stalls.. not tryin to hijack your thread sorry
i agree. i don't think even the crappiest monet is worth a single torque converter, but that might just be my insomnia talking. you could probably get about 20,000 fuddles for a monet these days.
i've had a fuddle 3400 converter in my car since 65k miles with the stock trans and it's been my dd since day 1. it's got 120k on it now with zero problems. just a trans cooler and shift kit. i couldn't even begin to tell you how many times i've sprayed a 125 to 150 shot on it. the only thing giving me problems is the weak 2nd to 3rd shift but thats gonna happen when you have 120k miles on the stock trans with a lot of abuse. otherwise i've been extremely happy with it. i purchased the converter in mid 2006. ive put 2 trips from north carolina to illinois and 2 trips from illinois to arizona on it. trans temps never see over 190 degrees. not real sure on where the company stands now a days though.
how is it pedal-proportionally? i'm looking for a converter i can ease into it with for a little RR and autox. sometimes kickdown is way too much but the stock stall has a nasty dead spot up until 2500ish. looking into a 3200ish but i want something as small as possible to minimize heat.
Make sure you have a cooler, and you should be fine. I drive my 01 WS.6, with a Performabuilt Level 2 '60e, and their 4k stall (1.69 str) every chance i have. I have a large cooler (bypassed radiator) and i havent had a single problem yet.. And let me tell you, a built trans, 3.73s and a 4k stall is a FUN ride!!
As for tuning, you may need more than a Predator to do the proper tuning.
