10" GER converter, any one with experience with them ?
I'm thinking of getting a 10" from GER. They have them on sale now for $299. With front and back balloning plates ,this is non lock-up for thew 700r-4, or i might swap to a turbo 350.
they give a 5yr warranty and a 50-50 warranty after that.

Those are the worst convertors on the market.
I ran that same convertor in my old Irocz setup and blew it up 30 minutes after the install. They are terrible.
Imagine just completing a convertor swap on jackstands, then taking the car out for a ride and coming home being towed. :cry
Stay away from them, there is a reason that no one uses their convertors !

I had one in my old Nova and bought a GER converter. Didn't last very long at all. I'd personally stay away from them - there are too many other good options.

I used GER T350 transmisions in my 84 Camaro I had a long time ago. (88-90) They would blow apart like clockwork in 4-6 months. After they redid it 4 times I took the tranny and just threw it in the dumpster and started fresh. But I did use there converters for a few years and never had a problem in my Iroc. Now all my Vettes have been sticks so I haven't used them in years.
