I am in the market for a new converter and was doing research and came across this thread and it has been an interesting read. My converter which is not a ATI, PTC, or Chance was so bad the first time you could not tell when the car was shifting. Paid for the r & r and even paid for the fricken tightening of the converter which I felt was way wrong since they missed it.
So everything seemed ok after the re-intall. Now after chasing a MPH problem it has come back to the converter again, which I thought was resolved so it was the last thing I checked. I changed, injectors, coil pack, wires, alternator, chips, injector loom, plugs, scan tools, then checked the converter and its slipping in upwards of 40%. So I am not going to give these people another chance.
Just wondering why Performance Automotive Engines {P.A.E.} and their switch pitch was never mentioned ? I can not afford to keep taking this trans in and out so is it possible to buy a converter that is right the first time and will last ? I think maybe Don's Nos set up along with the right converter may sound the best for me. I drive my car to and from the track and like to do things once.
