Higher stall torque converter how-to ?
Hey folks, what is really involved in changing the torgue converter ? Can it be done on jackstands ? What has to be dropped down ? What else should be changed ? I do plan on installing a transmission cooler, also. Any help would be appreciated ? Thanks.

Thanks Mike, and I see what you did changing the gears, but, just the torque converter...I know you changed yours, remember reading the article, but, can't find it now and don't remember. Could a regular good transmission shop do this without many problems ?

Here you go - I changed gears and TC and installed headers and a tranny cooler at the same time.

You can do it on jackstands as long as you provide enough clearance to pull the rear crossmember out the back. Also, you can pull the TC and tranny/diff without pulling the torque tube as I did.
