    Re: Torque Converter Advice

    You need the input shaft, as it has the oil feed hole to activate the lock-up, but the case is fine, might need the valve body or just the plumbing/solenoid portion to retrofit you valve body... Can't really recall right now, but Simon might have the info...

    Re: Torque Converter Advice

    Okay thanks for the help guys. I have a 94 lock up trans and will probably be getting a neon trans for parts as well since they have some stronger internal parts.

I believe you also need an input shaft and case from a 3 speed lockup transmission and maybe a few other parts as well.

    Glad you learned something. What high stall do you have?

    It is a high stall dayco converter very loose 2800-3000 stall speed and the price was cheap new. I know they use to be crap in race cars you get what you pay for

    That's not loose at all. Those numbers are tighter than stock.
