ST3800 Is Out......PYE3600 Is In..... If you recall, I was having major lock up problems with the ST3800 I installed in my 99 SS.

I pulled it out and put in a PYE3600 I bought used and it works perfect. Locks up fast over 40 MPH, and stays locked up. No lock up chatter either. So, if it was my line pressure, cam causing misfires, or all the other reasons I was given for the problems, apparently the PYE3500 doesn't care. I still say the ST series of Yanks is a marginal design.

Re: ST3800 Is Out......PYE3600 Is In..... well, the Pro Yank should lock up better, it has a larger lock up clutch.
40mph? that seems kinda high, when my car is fully warmed up my PT4400 locks up at 29mph. Do you drive in OD?

Re: ST3800 Is Out......PYE3600 Is In..... I'm glad it is working out.
I'm not too surprised that it looks up easier; as pointed out it is a larger diameter converter and that requires less pressure. I'm a little surprised that the unlocking issue hasn't come back, <img border="0" title="" alt="[Embarrassed]" src="gr_emb.gif" /> but I certainly hope you're in the clear. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
