Torque Converter


Recommended Posts

I am looking to do some tranny mods, I am reading lots of post and searching about these mods and can't find real answers, and am confused with the terminology!! :banghead:

 

I want snappy shifting, I don't want a neck breaker unless I am on it!

I am going to be doing a radix or STS by spring as well....

 

Does a 2800 2600 mean what RPM the converter grabs at????

DOes this mean that there is a good jerk everytimes you accelerate?

What do these numbers mean????

 

Some one Discribe for me what the big difference is adding a: :dunno:

torque converter Alone....

Shift Kit Alone....

Billit Servos Alone...

Pump Kit.....

Actuators.....

 

As you can see I am trying to find out what each one does in the set up. Most of you have done all of them together is there a reason for that??

I am new to Automatic transmissions here so help a Brother out if you can.

 

I am concerned that the truck will be hard to drive with the mods every day, I don't want to loose drive-ablility, just sharpen up the shifts and beat the imports!!

 

Lastly..... THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!!! :thumbs:

What do these numbers mean???? these are then numbers at which under max power the converter will begin to force the vehicle to move. there is alot to explain there, but the more important part is that although a higher stall is noticable under part throttle, until you get over a 3000 stall you won't notice enough to be bothered by it other than softer shifts.

 

Some one Discribe for me what the big difference is adding a:

torque converter Alone.... the torque converter itself is going to make for a much quicker truck off the line and much better performance directly after the shift.

Shift Kit Alone.... ok mod, but knda incomplete

Billit Servos Alone... very nice mod, much better shift, but not much quicker shift

Pump Kit..... ???

Actuators..... ???

So the Torque converter keeps the engine in its powerband better! Got it,

 

The Servos help it shift better, but not quicker, I am guessing by better you mean more positive of a shift opposed to quicker snap shifts?

 

What makes the truck shift faster? Pressure increase in the tranny? Springs of somekind, something to do with a shift kit? Or is this Part of a custom Tune?

 

TT3000 Yank Convertor, Keeps engine in the power,

Transgo Shift Kit, ????

HP Clutches, ?????

3-4 Band, ??????

Billet Servos, Helps shift better but what do you mean by better?

Aluminum Accumulator Piston???????

B&M Super Cooler???????

 

I just don't want to spend the $$$$ and not like what I have done, ya know!! :crazy:
