Stall converter change- difficulty level??
Hello. Newb here...
I recently picked up my first corvette. It's a clean '01 A/T. So far all
I've done is catch up on maint and installed a vararam intake with bridge. My next mods are going to be LT headers w/tune and then the stall converter. I was wondering how difficult it is to change out the converter? Can any transmission/clutch shop do it, or? Sorry. I searched and could only find threads discussing the performance aspects......
Thanks...

Most tranny shops should be able to swap converters for you. But you will also need to get a tune up to adjust shift points and shift firmness. What gears are you running? If you are running 2.73 gears I would swap them for at least 3.42 gears.

I'm assuming 2.73's because it doesn't have the adjustable suspension or any factory performance options....
As far as the tune goes. Will I be able to get a mail order tune to work?
Not much in my area for tuner shops unless you own a diesel..yeehaw

Ok. I'm not sure what gears it has... Is it stamped somewhere?
