real slow after trans installation i just finished installing the transmission in my 95 z28 auto and its extremly slow in all forward gears but works great in reverse could it be beacuse i cut the exhaust off at the headers it feels like it lost 100 hp but if i give it 1/4 throttle in reverse it will sqeel the tires.

i used the old torque converter that came with the original transmission could this be causing it

Could have lost a bunch of low end torque. This is a truck after all. Run your full exhaust and see what happens. Did you make sure the front pump was engaged when you reinstalled the tranny? Maybe your torque convertor is shot cuz of a disengaged front pump and the disks aren't turning. IDK, just guessing......

yeah this is a truck i just put it as a z28 beacuse its the same tranny and converter and i couldnt get an answer anywhere else.
anyways the converter im using has over 185000 miles on it.
I drained some of the oil by turning upside down for a couple days i got about 3 quarts out of it and added 2 quarts of new oil but it still runs like ****.
ohh and my speedo wont work i have a abs light on the dash could this be a loose connection.
how much does a converter go for thanks.
