No, it is a lock up for a LS1 4L60E. To make a lock up for a Turbo 400 you need a special transmission called switch pitch or variable pitch and a totally custom converter. I have thought about making one of these, not a lot of cores though.

Nice shiny stuff, there. Does that replace or eliminate the need for multi disc convertor for WOT TC lock up? Or is it a new TC not trans inner parts? Excuse my bad auto trans knowledge.

 

Those are custom built parts that are on the inside of the torque converter. It is called a multi disk, this one has 3 clutches. It essentially gives your more clutch surface area to hold the extra power for a WOT lock up. The clutches you see pictured are located in the converter, but are applied from fluid pressure that comes from the transmission. That pressure is commanded from the solenoid in the transmission that is commanded by the computer on the car. So your tuner has total control of when the lock up will occur. It is not recommended to apply the single disk clutches at WOT because they can not hold the power and will slip, eventually burning up and causing transmission failure. Hope this clarifies a little, anything else just ask.

Chris, ask ken over at T/S about the lock up 400 they made back in the mid to late ninety's. It required the SP pump, and their input shaft to make the converter work. It's a cool looking part. I like your new Multi-disc cover as well as the single disc by the way. Nice work!!

 

Do you make these guys for the A6's yet. You did a clutch upgrade for me awhile back for my cobra and it was awesome ! Great looking part

 

damn i cant wait to scoop one up chris, i talked to you a while back about doing a 4L60 for my turbo project.

 

Here is one of our LOCK UP TH400 on E-Bay for sale if you want to see what they look like.
they work great but are no longer on the market for sale.

I took the plunge, going in my 416CI L92 w/150 shot.

 

EEEEEkkkkk. Big cubes and gas is gonna love the L/U!!!!

Keep us updated.

 

Sorry in advance for the hijack.

I am actually buying that tranny and PT4000 converter off of him. I just sold my t56 to get it.

Can you guys still service and/or re-stall that converter? What is the STR of that converter? How much HP will it handle locked up?

 

That's pretty cool. I assume that was a single disc? I like the generous use of braided line. All good stuff.

Mike.

 

dam , thats almost as good looking as the contestant on the miss usa pageant , lol

guess i outta keep my switch pitch 400 , lol

are you gonna be doing 4l80e converters ?

 

My Circle D install is almost finished. It's a nice piece. Just a few odds-n-ends to wrap up. Will be posting up in a few days how it's working...

 

We will be making this same design for the 4L80 and the 6L80 in the coming months, I will post more info when available.

Chris

 

Definitely appreciate your patience on this one, that DHL thing was something!

Chris

 

We can definitely re-stall that converter for you, just let me know what you need.

Chris

 

Nice, guess I know which converter I will be buying soon.

 

I can't wait for mine to come in, its the multi-disk. Im excited about it because you can read and search about circle d converters and not one bad thing about them at all and Chris is so knowledgeable and will take the time to explain anything to you. Very happy and haven't even got the converter yet!!!!!! Thanks Shaun

 

For those who are getting this Converter please post the results!!

 

Id buy a 4L80E version when they come out too.
