    Precision Converters

    I just installed my 3000stall PTC converter today and boy did it make a differance. just the weight savings going from a 12" to 10" is huge. The car is much more responsive, turbo spools quicker and the car is just faster overall. Im very happy with the converter that dusty got for me.

    fresh rebuild slipping

    Yes i made sure i got the same tranny and valve body back. i was cruising at around 75mph and im not exactly sure where my rpms were at but i remember looking down and noticing that the rpms seemed much higher than before. I counted 4 shifts with the shifter in OD and 3 in D.

    fresh rebuild slipping

    by tighten you mean pull the cable towards the firewall? and if i do that wont it just adjust forward again the first time i go wide open on the throttle? Ill go give it a shot real quick. Update, I adjusted the cable and the trans still feels the same.

    Torque Converter install

    you are going to put shims (washers) between the ears on the converter and the flexplate. you will see when you bolt the bellhousing up to the block that you will have a gap between the converter and flexplate. If you just bolted them together you would pull the converter too far out of the...

    governor replacement

    Hello, I think i threw a spring on my governor causing all of my trans issues. I was wondering if you needed to drop the valve body to replace it or can i access the governor with just removal of the pan? Thanks Bryan

    Trans wont upshift

    I should prob add that before i had any issues (with the old and new converter) when i shifted from park to drive or reverse it would kick into gear. now when i start it up and put it in gear it does not kick at all. before the car would squat down when i put it in reverse. It also takes more...

So last night i went out for a drive and after about an hour of driving the tranny would no longer upshift. I didnt notice the problem slowly, it happened all...

    air conditioning help....

    A quick easy check for airflow across the condenser is to spray it with a garden hose with the car running and the a/c on. if the temp at the center vents start to drop to a more acceptable level then the issue is poor heat transfer at the condenser. make sure it is free of debris and maybe a...

    Found problem!

    Im fairly new to the turbo buicks but am i wrong in saying that when you are in vacuum crankcase vapors are pulled through the pcv valve and into the intake manifold to be burned. I always thought of it as a metered vacuum leak because the ecu is tuned knowing that with a working pcv valve an...
