i have a question plan and simple. my 94 needs a torque converter and i wanted to know what years would fit? and does anyone have one they want to sell?

 

I assume all the 93-97 are the same. If you want a stock replacement than they are probably everywhere. If you want a nice aftermarket one the they are all over but the nice ones will cost you. I prefer the Vigilante, Yank and Fuddle. Then you have to decide on the stall speed. A good quality one will run over $500 but is well worth the extra money.

 

hmm, well i just need a stock one for it. the car is actually my uncles. he has done so much for me as a kid and now that he car is messed up and he has no money to fix it due to a financial situation i want to fix it for him. i am truthfully just a ford guy lol and don't know too much about chevys.

 

I got a factory replacement 'heavy duty" V6 converter for my turbo LT1 becuase it stalls a bit higher, about 2500rpm. It's great and I got it for only $62 through a friends commercial account. I think it's just for a similar year 3.8L.

 

so wait.. a v6 converter will fit on the z28?

 

lol... mine works with no issues. Apparently this is a fairly common 'mod'.

 

hmm, could you get me one?

 

Maybe, there heavy as hell so shipping might suck lol... I'll ask my buddy if this would be a possibility.

I think I also have my stock converter somewhere. I blew up my transmission and decided for $62 I'd try the higher stall converter since I had to pull the transmission anyway.

 

yea shipping would be ****ing horrible.


just another questiong he car overheats from time to time.. anything you suggest checking?

 

Get one of those cooling system hand pump pressure testers. If the cooling system doesn't hold pressure (18psi or so), it will have overheating issues. The radiator cap is a common failure point.

 

The air damn on the underside could be damaged or missing. The thermostat could be bad. The coolant mixture could be off. The cooling system could have an obstruction.
