Torque Converter Finally changed
Finally i did it, the torque converter was changed, now i can feel the difference. man and is it big
i got my TCI super street fighter torque converter two days ago and i was waiting for it so that i can fix the rear axle sleeves. it was a good investment
... but I'm still waiting for my gears to come

I'm no expert on this, but I've done hours and hours of research..........haven't run across this complaint yet.
Are you sure it's not just your tires spinning......just kidding

I dont know about any vibrations but after installing a 3.42 and a yank 3200 and a custom tune from Diablo now the car goss like hell. But make sure you get a tune , as you must eliminate the TC look up in 3 rd gear as it will be very annouying " this is recomemdation from other TUNERS ". Mine is being looked into in order to eliminate this issue . GOOD LUCK>

Do you think this may have something to do with your issue?

I've seen posts from other members about this issue w/ TCI convertors. I know Andy w/ A&A had told me he tried several TCI convertors for a period of time and all of them had issues like this unfortunately. Not sure if this can be fixed w/o buying a new unit from another company like Precision Industries which is what I have.

I'm still a newbie, but I think I recall from an earlier thread that the vibration could be caused by (sorry, i don't remember the exact names)the connection between the torque tube and the engine. I think there is a clamp/bearing (with an allen bolt) that need to be loosened. then the drive train needed to be rotated a few times and then re-tighten the clamp. I beleive it lets the torque tube re-center. HTH
