I see a few on there, Mojave Green & Roadrunner converters. Just wondering, I really need one and I can't afford most of the popular one's out there.

 

Give a try here: www.txchange.com

They have a heavy duty torque converter that is heads and shoulders above the OEM thing, and their price is very reasonable. Most guys around here use the txchange HD unit for towing, because it is so reasonably priced and works.

Mojave Green is also a decent converter manufactured by a family company that is also into racing. I am not sure who makes the Roadrunner.

 

Shoot Dave at Goerend Bro's an E-mail. I have a smokin deal lined out on a converter for me, but he has a VERY competitively priced torque converter with even the off brand companies. I have never bought anything from him, but he seems like an A#1 guy, and his single disk isnt much more if any more by the time you exchange converters with the guys on Ebay, and is more than likely better. I would give him a call.

The other bad part is what ever you buy has no warranty! You might get takin' for a ride....

 

I just ordered a converter from TCS, should be here in a week or so. The guy I spoke with was real straight forward with information regarding his converters. The best part of all was I didn't have to give my first born to buy a converter I felt comfortable using.


Regarding the Mojave-Green converter. AlpineRam said his buddy used one and liked it.

 

i had a buddie buy a mohavie green from e bay and a trans go shift kit. it was fully warenteed and worked like a champ. great deal for the money. and i love e bay

 

Im not by any means saying what is on bay is junk. I had thought hard about the mojave green converters, but i ran into a pretty good deal with a Dayco torque converter. Its triple disc, and has a billet cover. Im just waiting ont eh boy to get it out of his truck,a nd exchange it for a new one. Cant wait to get it. Im just saying to call Dave though, as he quoted me an AWESOME price on a single disc; and you know they hold up, and they have great customer service, so im just saying if they are comparable in price, then you know you would be backed up with Daves if something ever happened to it.

The way I understand it, as long as you have a good working tranny and aren't planning to run 450+ hp most any good single disk converter will hold and perform well. The only difference that I've found is how the stator is modified to cut stall. Milled stator or new steel stator. As I understand it the milled stator will reduce stall be won't improve fluid coupling much and the steel stator does both. I really don't know for sure it's just what I've read, so don't burn me up too bad if you disagree. Anything got to be better than stock.

 

I tried a AutoTrans Protow billeted converter for a couple weeks. It locked up great but had a stock stall speed. Hated it, to say the least. They finally agreed to take it back after numerous phone calls and emails. Swapped it (at my expense for labour) with a DTT. Well worth the extra $250. Whatever you buy, make sure they'll take it back if you aren't happy.

 

I ordered a Goerend single disk with GM 4L80 style clutches. They are made of carbon fiber or something like that, so if they slip, they won't throw clutch material off and contaminate the whole tranny.

It'll be here on Monday, and I should have a new TxChange HD tranny in within the next 2 weeks. I'll let y'all know how it works out.
