A few years ago it was possible on non-sealed converters to change the springs,diaphargm plate,and add slighty oversized lock-up rollers, just to give a more positve drive effect.

Nowadays, all converters are sealed for that specific vehicle and trans, and the electronics will sense whether its loaded or not,try putting half a ton in the back and see if it pulls better through the gears, even when you floor it!

oh great Lickey,

with sealed tq converters, which way shall i progress. like you stated if they consist with sensors etc then the replacement would have to be to similar...

do u know any shops that even sell replacements, modified? im planning to push about 320hp or so in my a/t 4m41, right now i would assume it would be close 260hp, so another 60hp or so, but torque i imagen it being in the 600-700nm tq.....im sure im gona snap mine like a stick, so i really do need an alternative beside changing transmission haha......

anymore help would be greatly appreiated.
