so my tranny is being rebuilt its a 4l60e but taking a little while maybe ill get it back this week. anyway when we took it out i took out the torque converter it was red dark red. and said 3100-ls1 in permanent marker. so is this a good converter guys. oh and if i clean it can i put it back in the tranny or do i have 2 rebuild it 2 thanks.

 

Got any pics?

My Yank is red ... but they Yank puts stickers on their converters that shows what kind it is...not permanent marker.

 

no stickers it looks like its been painted red cuz the paints chipping .and its in permanent marker. do u think i can still use this stall and is a 3100 any good. oh how do i clean it thanks.

 

does anyone know if this stall is any good 4 nitrous.

 

If its chipping... whats the color under the red?

 

i dont know ill check right know

 

silver like my headers material. but its f,ing heavy lol

 

measure it and see what the overall diameter is, that'll help a little. Better stall converters are smaller in size, 8 to 10".

Stockers are a little bigger.

 

okay i measured with my eyes and hands but its around 7 to 8 inches from side 2 side is that good or bad.

 

good.

 

is 3100 a good stall 4 a cam bro.

 

Its obviously not a stock stall, but honestly it sounds like a cheap one, sorry to say it but you really should ditch it and buy a know good brand converter so that the one you have dosent end up tearing up that new transmission.

there are too many threads here on ls1tech where someone went with a cheap stall and it trashed one or more transmissions.

my yank is dark red also, but the paint is high quality and there is a sticker on it with the stall speed and brand name, and there is a big sticker around the dowel/post ( proper name? ) that sticks out of the front of it about 6" in diameter.

 

how much is a good one.......mine was really kick *** when it was working no shaking and really good response.

 

Good ones cost around $700-800 and some are even upwards of 900-1000...

We really need to see a picture of your converter to try and figure out what it is.

 

Hmm just look at these threads about converters, a TCI converter was opened up in one thread and they pointed out all the issues with cheap converters. If yours dosen't have good paint I doubt it has very good internals.

Here is one way to find out if its of high quality or just a lower end one. Look at the mounting tabs where they mount to the cover, if they are welded on its not a upper end unit, upper end units use a billet aluminum cover that is cnc'd with mounting tabs as part of the cover.


Mine is 945 new, found it used in excellent condition for 575 shipped. If you look around look for a Vigilante, Yank, Circle D, thats the names I know. I really like my yank.

How much RWHP?
Power adders?
Street or strip or both?


Ill find the link to the converter cut open in a minute.

 

yea im gonna take pics with my cell phone and post them up but i suck at computers so how do i send my pics from my cell 2 my email.

 

ok 4 some reason my retarded phone wont send them 2 my email. is there anyone willing 2 let me send them 2 there phone and post them i would greatly apreciate it.

 

my phone is crap too.


here is that link, it is a great read, it has pictures of cut open converters and anyone that has an auto should check out this thread

https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...+cut+converter

 

hmmm mine looks like the shitty ones a little then looks like the good ones 2 man

 

Well I would say if yours is questionable then I would have concerns with keeping it and putting it with a new transmission, did you find out what took out the last one?

This is just my opinion though it may be fine, im not saying yours is trash just reminded me of that thread that I posted when I read this thread
