rebuilding converters?

[sprayed65]

anyone know of a place in or around kentucky that can rebuild a converter, the one in my car has a perfect stall speed for my mods and I'd like to keep it but the lock up clutch is about gone I think...it won't stay locked up on the highway or around town and doesn't lock up at all when it gets up to full temperature...

Have you replaced the TCC? That might be failing. The 700r version is recommended if you lock the converter at the track.

Where in Ky?
There is a place in or around Louisville that I would recommend you DON'T take it to---Bradco
I have been involved with 3 different convertors from Bradco--all 3 were defective. Just my bad luck? Maybe, but I do know it didn't seem to bother him that I took a bath on 2 of them.
Best of luck.

Lee,
Someone just tried to get me to buy a Bradco bolt together unit. Is this what you have?

No

The first one was a restalled D-5 It had a washer melt inside--That one only cost me a pump rebuild--Actually was not counting that one as a loss.
Second one was a $900 N/L race convertor--it was made wrong inside and eat up a friends trans--I loaned him my trans for BG--ate it also.
Third one was also a restalled D-5 that had a weld break inside. I ate a trans on that one also.
Not my favorite convertor company.
Some people swear by them.

anywhere around lexington or louisville...mainly so that I wouldn't have to bother shipping it.
