But i onli whine when its in drive not in nutral or park. and i will onli whine at low rpms. i mean do dont(hope) that its anything in the trani. Cuz eveything is brand new like 400 miles on it all.

hang on... only at low rpms... new stall? whine... coming from up front?


i think thats normal... first thing i noticed after i installed my stall converter when i went to back it up my buddies steep driveway was that it had a little "fake supercharger" whind,wind,winde..... .... to it... i think its normal...


is the car running fine? no other problems? noises? hesitations? smells? vibes?

it has a little hesitations, and if i am siting at a light with it in drive it clicks. but other then that its good. i mean its still got the power just if i get allove it from a deadstandstill it bogs. but thats just like it sounds a fake supercharger. but why would it start now at 450 miles then when i took it outta the shop?

honestly i don't know why it would start now and not before... but i think you got nothing to worry about...


the clicks are kinda bothering me... go into more detail about that...


"hesitation" is normal as well... a stall makes it seem like you have to give it more gas for the same acceleration... and you do, at partial throttle... but it preforms WAY better at WOT...

don't ask me why this is... also, don't ask me how me pressing these keys with my fingers delivers a message to you, across the country... it just does.... dunno why.... long as it works

it sounds like its clickin from the TC. I dont know how to decribe it. But all an all the car runs stong. i mean from a dead stop its not that good. but from a roll it goes.

is this AFTER the converter swap?

which brand/stall speed is the new converter?


if the car was dead stopped, and you floored it... you should be doing a decent burnout, with a stall....

well then thats a problem i don't feel comfortable diagnosing... could be a billion things to me if a garage did the converter swap... bring it back to em and explain everything... if you did it yourself... i'll let someone else take over for me here... cause now im stumped...


that shouldn't happen... flooring it from a stop should roast the tires even more with a stall
