I'm not really sure how it broke but it did. I can still ride around on it but it makes a constant noise. I had it in a shop and he said the housing is twisted. Then he pointed out that the axle tubes are kind of crooked. I thought it was just a stripped ring and pinion but he called me up before he was going to take the cap off and check them just to let me know that and say that it really isnt worth the money to take it off cuz its already messed up and everything in there is going to be bad also. The car is pretty much stock its got a lid, 3.73's, and a borla. I really dont understand how it went bad i dont think the gs d3's are that sticky they spin all the time. I don't ever launch the car or bring it to the track.

 

The 3.73s are what killed the rear quickly.

 

Yeah thats the only logical thing that would have done it, that and driving like an idiot probably doesnt help the little 10 bolt. Ohh well it would of went sooner or later. One less thing to worry about now once it gets fixed. Will the tc let the car rev quicker when its in park or nuetral?

 

No, it will rev the same in park and neutral.

 

Not sure what you mean, but if you want to know whats its like compared to stock, the engine can rev and come back down quicker than with the stock converter due to the lighter rotating mass.

If not, Roarin_8 answered the question.

 

I love my converter 3500 stall its awesome! KINDA MAKES ME WANNA GO BIGGER!

 

That is what i meant i worded it wrong. My bro's gto after being reved drops back down to idle real quick. Where my camaro seems to go a little bit slower. But then again they are completely different cars/drivetrains. I definetely am going to go with a 4k stall once i get everything figured out and have the money to get it after the rear end. What kind of str you guys running?

 

SS3600 2.5STR

The quickness in revving is due to the smaller diameter and lighter mass though and not necessarily the stall speed. Think of it like installing a lighter flywheel in a manual car.

 

Yeah. I remember reading on i think it was yanks website that the after market tc's are like 20-30lbs lighter than the stock one. With the 2.5str how hard does it hit your nittos? I think i want to go the same route when i get the tc and just get some 17x11 zr1's and probably just get some gs d3's.

 

Very hard. They will need to be real sticky to launch well. I haven't got them to that point yet, but even a 1/2 throttle flash will light em up.

 

my SS3600 blows my stickey mickey radials apart and i am at 4200 feet
