Which Torque Convertor
I have an A4 1998 with 2.73 gears. I am going to keep my 2.73 gears so thats not going to change. Which torque convertor and stall speed do you recommend fo my car? I want to keep my trans from being real loose and close to stock and still make it a little quicker. :hurray: Thanks :hurray:

Re: Which Torque Convertor (jcharity)
2:73s are not the optimum to match-up to a converter...best to upgrade to to 3:15s or 3:42s and converter....but if staying with 2:73s then a Yank 3000 or Vigilante 2800...also go with str of 2.2 or better to help "tighten-up" the feel.

If you are not going to make any significant changes, then leave it alone. I would not waste the money on such a minor upgrade.
