Default Got Fuddle?

Well I just got my Fuddle Racing 3500 installed the other day with a Trans-Go shift Kit and Tranny Cooler. Wow! The car is still very streetable and I drive it Daily and have no problems, except for a loss in a couple mpg. I can rip the tires up all the way up through half of second gear and the shifts are nice and fast due to the shift kit. The converter puts the car right in its sweet spot and the dead spot from 30-40 is virtually non-exsistant. I absolutly love this converter and would recommend it to anyone. If you don't have a nice stall on your auto, GET ONE!

only prob was after the install my low oil light came on. i checked the oil and tranny fluid and both were good. is there a sensor that could have been diconected in the install? i don't have a shift kit yet but i rode in a car that had one and i love it.

what rear end gears do you guys have? I've heard a 3000 stall would work well with 3.42s, and i'd probably be going fuddle for that.

Also, what str would you recommend for the above setup?

I've got 3.23 gears, went with the 3400 stall 2.1 str John recommended.
Email him or PM him with your setup and he will make sure you get the right converter for your car.

I just got mine delivered yesterday! I can't wait to get my transmission back from Cahall so I can put this thing in.

My box had "Howards Torque Converters" printed on it Anyone elses box have that?
Also, apparantely they double box the converters now, and use lots of newspaper too! So no more shipping damage.

Yeah I wouldn't worry about the box it was shipped it. I have 3:23 gears and don't really plan on changing them anytime soon, especially after the stall.
