so i'm about to drop my transmission again to put in a 3000 stall converter in a month or 2 from now. quick question. is putting a torque converter with 3000 stall exactly the same as putting a regular stock torque converter on?

[dblzroracin]

It will install the same.

[mustangtommy]

ya it will install as long as you get a lock up converter if you get a non lock up i believe you have to swap out the input shaft for the tranny....someone correct me if im wrong

[bennyjet846]

what's the difference between a lockup converter and a non lockup converter?

[balls'87]

non lockup convertors, dont get nearly as good fuel mileage as a lockup convertor. A lock up convertor actually has a clutch plate in it much like a manual clutch, but smaller. the clutch is only engaged when cruising, not using much throttle. When engaged it convertor is more efficient, giving better mpgs, and less heat.
