Default Converter Question

I have a 93 TA and want to get a converter soon. I know I have the 4l60. My ? is can I use a converter for a 4l60e? 700r4? Also what would you recommend for a cc306 with mildly P&P heads, A4, 3.23? 3200? Thanks

I would go 3600. I have the vig3600 with the cc306 and today I was pulling the tires 6". The 3600 is streetable in my opinion. I beleive the 700r4, 4l60, 4l60e use the same converter.

its all in what you consider streetable and how hard you want to launch your car. i have a fuddle racing 3400 stall and john cameron (owner of fuddle) said that once you get over 3400 it starts to feel real loose. the stall thats in the car now feels solid and since its a 9.5 inch converter it allows the motor to spin up ALOT faster.

The conveters are the same, it does not matter. Vigilante all the way, never have I had a problem with them and have had several.

Plus you cant beat the 2yr warranty and free re-stall if you want it changed.

I ran a 3600 Vig for several years in a DD car, and loved it... With lockup converters they dont feel loose anymore once you settle into a cruise and it locks up.

Now Im runnin a 4000 vig 9" in my TH-400, that's a non-lockup and its Loooooooose! Thinking I may even send it out to be tightened up slightly.
