Ive never had a TC before, nor do i claim to know anything about them(always owned standards), so i had a TCI SSF3500 installed...is it normal for the car to drive like a manual with the clutch halfway down? And the other thing....now the car pulls hard after 3500 but it still seems like the tranny is slippin and my shifts arent firm at all....rather it seems to "slide" through gears...like i said...i dont know much about TCs so any help would be greatly appreciated...

i just put one in my car it sounds like a supercharged now with stock exhaust.I think everything here is normal

 

i just edited and posted a vid...does it seem out of the ordinary??

 

Perfectly normal, that's part of what high stalls do. They allow more slippage. You'll get used to it in no time.

The higher the stall, the more cushion of the power transfer you have at part throttle which makes the shifts seem softer. They are actually just as fast as before but less of the jarring gets transfered due to the cushioning effect.

 

Colonel is right, it is made to slip so you are always in your power range when racing

 

Not to hijack the thread, but does the slippage allow the engine to rev into the powerband in around town driving? I'm thinking of how my 2.73/stock converter car tends to bog around town when the rpms are low (below 1500). Would a tc allow the engine to spin up to where some power is being made, or create more bogging due to slippage?

 

Allowing the engine to "slip" until it gets to a preset RPM range where the car makes more power is exacly what a High stall converter will do for you. I also have 2.73 gears and the converter was the single best mod i have done to the car. Get a converter

 

My concern is for it to help in part-throttle situations in town, not just full-throttle. You're saying it will, right?

 

perfectly normal its doing what its supposed to do.

 

yup yup youll get used to it..i know i did after a week or so now i want bigger
