Default Have you broken anything since installing a high stall tc?

I havent found to much on the site about how after market tcs beat on other parts of the car..(stock 10 bolt,engine,tranny). Theres a sticky on what your
a4 mods are but I think it would help if we knew how long these higher stalls have been in the car,and if anything has broken due to the higher stress by the tc.
So..
how long have you had the stall?
have you broken anything because of it?

I have a 3000 stall in my ride, [considered small by most]
So far its lasted about 50'000 plus miles w/o any issues whatsoever to the trans, rearend or anything else for that matter.

I have had a Yank SS3600 for quite awhile with no problems. Just changed out to a Yank PT4000 with no problems so far.

When I was just a bolt on car I had no issues at all with my stalled auto but once I went H/C/I and to a 4400rpm stall converter the stock tranny lasted about 2 weeks and 3 weeks after that is when the rearend gave out (racing a damn Mustang in Mexico on the street)!
