T/C Problem?
I had a Yank 3200 installed a few weeks ago. Since then the Vette has developed a vibration that starts at 3600 RPM and stops at about 4000 RPM's. It does this in all the gears I checked. Bad converter, bad install?

I had a Yank SS3600 installed 3 weeks ago and having the same problem except mine has a thumping noise at idle and a vibration at about 2200 and continues. I called yank and they said that the torque tube could be out of balance. From what I hear this is their normal response. They're not going to say that this is a problem with their product.
One thing you could do is check is the transmission fluid, Mine was a half a quart low.
Another....send you original tc off and have it rebuilt what stall you want. This will cost you about $200. I wish I would have known about this before I bought the yank.
I sent my original TC off and rebuilt to a tight 2800. It should be back in the car tomorrow. I will let you know if this takes care of the problem.....I bet it will!
Here is a thread that had this problem also....

Thanks for the info. The shop is going to pull it to see what is going on. After reading the supplied link I am a bit nervous about putting in a Torque Converter of any type.
I do have to say that my conversations with Yank have been very helpful and they even have talked to my shop to help resolve the issue.
