Thanks to everyone for the responses. The job of a torque converter is a real conflict. We all want it to slip like hell at the starting line and then not slip at all at the finish line. I will definitely call PTC this week and see if they’re willing to straighten out another brands converter. If I can get the slip to 10 percent or less maybe I’ll put a little more gear back in the car.
This forum is a fantastic resource
