The converter has several different things in them that can cause some of the effects that he is discribing. He might have a bad or broken sprag in the converter. Could have broken it due to various reasons or possiably a defect from the get go.
Like rwhite65 has mentioned...same your $$$ and get a good converter. For the power range he is in I believe the Precesion Industries would be fine. Get it NEW! Comes with a 2 year warranty and if you need a stall change for what ever reason, they will change it for free, the first 2 years to the orginal owner. I honestly broke 4 of them! People swear by them, but once yoy start going into the 10's using a trans-brake....they aint worth shit! IMO. Everyone I have delt with claims the same thing. You need to dtep up to a $1,200 converter on up. Like TCT, Neil, ATI,Cone,etc.
