Retuned after converter install hey guys, I am just about finished installing a yank 3600 stall converter in my 98 WS6. My question is am I going to have to take the car in and have the computer retuned for the tranny to work properly. Change shift point, idle rpm ect..?
I plan to have the car dyno tuned sometime this summer when I have everything complete, so I don't really want to have to do it twice. This is the first time I've put a high stall converter in a car so its kinda new to me.
Thanks

It should drive fine with little to no issues. Your shifts will feel very soft now, and your shift points could probably use a little tweaking but it will get you around fine.

I've never personally thrown a fault code on WOT for shift extensions, but part throttle can be tricky because lots of times rpms don't drop after the shift, and the computer deems this a non-shift.

Yes. You will want to bump up your line pressure for firmer shifts, raise your shift points, decrease your shift times, possibly eliminate third gear lock-up, adjust your lock-up speed, and tune out trouble codes that will throw the trans into limp mode.
But you will probably be ok waiting a couple of months and driving it with the stock tune before you get it dyno tuned.

I did not get a tune for my ss3600 until a month or so after breaking it in. I gave it hell before a tune no issues. After I got the tune I couldn't even tell a difference. Just make sure you break it in. I think its 150 miles.
