Died when put in R?

I put my car in reverse today and it died =[ it only did it once though...it was fine after I turned it back on and went in reverse. Someone told me this could be the torque converter? I hope not since it's the one I JUST got from Fuddle.

Anyone have any insight?

How long have you had the Fuddle in? I had my trans rebuilt and installed a Fuddle 3,000 stall just a few months ago. My car also whould stall at times in reverse. Plus it felt like I lose power after the install of the trans and stall. Well 400 miles later the Fuddle stall came apart and caused damage to my new rebuilt trans. I now have a Yank and the Fuddle is on its way to Yank to have them look at what happened.

It has about 2-3 weeks on it. Not driven a lot though. If the converter grenades my tranny I'm going to be rather upset.

I have been calling and e-mailing Fuddle for well over a month now and they will not respond back to me.

You might have to raise the rpm's so it doesn't do what you are saying. I have heard of this after tc install. Just a thought, Vince.
