Ordering Stall Reliability ? Well i think im gonna be ordering a fuddle 3500 stall in the next hour or so. The car has 63k on the clock and the trans shifts good and hard and the fluid is nice and pinkish red. My question is will installing the converter really hurt my trans and compromise reliability. I dont have money for a stage 4 trans yet. I will be getting a trans cooler(the biggest one possible), and new fluid. Ps. SHould i get a cooler with a fan or will a 24000gvw b&m be enough.

The 24000gvw cooler will be fine. Which stall are you getting? 3200 or 3500?
You'll be fine either way.
FYI, lot of people on this site may tell you not to do the gear's after putting in a 3500
stall. They say any performance gain's will be marginal.
At any rate, you are going to love that stall!!

Alright awesome i just got back fuddles recommendations i think im gonna go with the 3400 with a 2.2 str. I really hope my trans stays alive after this, but if not ill just start saving up again. I hate speed its a sickness!
STR = Stall Torque Ratio. The higher the STR, the harder it hit off the line. If you go too high, launching will be damn near impossible without slicks. If you stay in the 2.1-2.4 range, you should be fine.
