Installed my Yank today!!!
 
I just got home from installing my Yank SS3600, And wow, The car is totally different.

I have a few questions for you guys with stalls.

After install, is it normal when you pull up to a stop light the RPMS take a couple seconds to go back to normal? It holds at about 1100 rpms, and then finally kicks down..

I know the Break in period is very strick on new stalls, but if I go on the highway, is it fine to kick it up over 3600 rpm? And see how it feels??

Well thanks.

It is my understanding your car should be tuned for the new convertor to help with the return of RPM' s to normal. I don't have any idea why you cannot kick up your new convertor over 3600 RPM's and have fun on the highway. I know I did not break my convertor by any formal procedure and I haven't looked backed. I did have mined mail order tuned for the new convertor. Cheers and have fun.

Break in period? WTF?

crazylane 03-03-2007 04:50 PM

This is strait from there web site......

BREAK IN PERIOD…
Yank converters have a special clutch lining material that requires a special break in procedure.
This procedure consists of:
Driving the converter at normal speeds with NO WOT starts or brake stalling the converter for approx, 150 miles.
Stall checking or Brake stalling will severely damage the clutch lining if converter is not broke in properly. This will void any warranty.

I would just wait the 150 miles...then go balls out! :D

I have the same model. SS3600. I went out and beat the shit out of it the first day all day every day. You dont need a tune, well atleast I didnt.

Mine idled fine...right at about 850-900 like always. The stall doesnt really feel like it makes a difference on the highway, 1st gear is... :)

Have fun.

So what does the converter clutch have to do with stalling it up? The converter clutch is for lock-up purposes. BTW, I'm not at all impressed with their website.

If the manufacture that builds the converters says not to beat on it until a 150 miles, then I would believe them, They are the experts on it, they built it. So I will just stick with what they say..

Stalling it up effects the roller clutch and bearings that are new and have to be run in to allow for full contact surface, if this if not done you can pit or over heat the bearings and stator internal parts.
This also will allow for all the trapped air the be purged from the converter
the converter clutch has to be broken in same as your brakes would, as all high spots and compacting of the lining surface must be done to allow full contact area.


This will apply on Yank converters as other brands are built with USED parts and do not need this attention as they have been broken in from the converters previous life.
