Me too?
You know, I'm starting to wonder if I don't have the same problem with my car (engine not producing enough torque to stall the converter). I put a Red Stripe in it without making any other changes and the car was a total dog. If I stood on the brake and gave it some gas, it would stall decently, but not from a dead stop. It was terrible and the fuel economy was awful (13 MPG with a combination of highway/stop-n-go). I figured it was too tight and pulled it out this past Sunday. It's MUCH better than the stock one, but I still have a dead spot for a split second from a stop. It's idling rough, too. Nothing out of the ordinary from Tlink, though.
The trans is still shifting funny, and after reading the thread on how the servo works I'm wondering if the guy that rebuilt it put the wrong servo in it. I have the "slide-bump" shift from 1-2, and 2-3 seems loose, too. If I give it gas in 4th, I get a "slide-bump" kind of action too, but it's not a shift. I was blaming all this on the TC. Who knows, I may have multiple problems, but it pulls MUCH, much better with the stock TC.
I'd think, though, that the 3.8L turbo - even in stock or semi-stock condition - should have enough torque to stall a Red Stripe converter at a higher RPM than a "regular" D5, right?
