Buying a conveter do I need a shift kit?
Buying a conveter do I need a shift kit? I am ordering a 3400 stall with 2.2 STR and a 24,000 GVW trans cooler and want to know if I need a shift kit to go with this, I do drive the car daily so this is why I am asking. If I do need one which one should I get? Any help is appreciated thanks.
I ordered a 3200/2.1 stall and don't have it installed yet. Fuddle recommends driving the car a little while to see how you like the shifting, then decide. After my stall installed I am going to get it tuned and see then, I'll let you know

Recently installed a Fuddle 3000 and am experiencing audible clutch noise when the converter locks up at part throttle. Talked to John Fuddle about it and he says it is caused by pulse width modulation and will be cured by installation of a shift kit. The shifts are also noticibly softer than with the stock converter, so the shift kit should cure that also.

The smoothness of the shift is because of the TC not the transmission. It doesn't drop as much RPM since it is looser. You are just over straining the trans with the shift kit. The trans is shifting harder than you think it is but you can't feel it.
Did he use a stock clutch for your converter? Hope not.
