ok time to stop the confusion i personally built this converter using a 10 inch c4 core so it's stall should be the same as those found in a 10 inch c4 converter
it is not a reworked stocker obviously as it is a 10 inch converter
there really aren't any components in that converter that can fail it has the largest sprag ever built by ford good for about 700hp
all the fins have been reinforced
and it is completely rollerized
i have decided to no longer build these aod torque converters there is too much confusion and everyone thinks they have gotten a faulty unit even when it works exactly as it is supposed to
i question if the clutches in your transmission can handle the blow of the extra torque multiplication which could cause sloppy shifts
and i also wonder if your band is working properly if the band slips 2nd gear would not pull hard causing the feel you are getting around 30mph
that converter is built to be efficientand should be near a 1-1 ratio by 3800rpm however it does not pull hard below 1800rpm as i told you in the first place
if the stall is too much send it back i'll swap in a low stall stator but you'll have to pay shipping both directions because i didn't make profit from this converter anyway all the parts in it are new from sonnax and i put at least 10 hours of labor in this thing believe it or not building that precision front cover was alot of work
for future reference the only converters i will build for aod transmissions are those identical to pi or edge converters using a complete kit from sonnax and the cost would be about 650 dollars
if you want to go with one of those send me that converters back and i'll refund the 150 you paid for that converter from the cost
