Circle Ds are a bit looser. I got a 3000 expecting it to be in the range as the yank, and it was much looser. A 3200 Circle D will likely be what you're looking for, but smaller than a 278.

 

Nothing is worth a swap unless it's for the smaller size 9.x" converters. Those heavy comparable to stock 10.x" converters will all perform very similar. You need a smaller diameter converter for a real gain. I cut .5" off my 1/4 with a 3.42-3.90 TT3000-SS3600 swap.

My SS3600 should be for sale here shortly.

 

My 140k trans was still goin fine till the converter ate itself haha..


I say just snag up a used 3600 and hope everything holds up..

 

I went from a circle d 278mm 3200, to a yank pt3200 and well worth it to me low end feel completly diffrent and the shift extensions are great and the fact that Im able to tow is just great just the other day i towed a 9x5 trailer with 2 scoops of gravel....and it was fine and dandy ...1scoop= 1 yard

and not tom ention i got thr pt3200 for $325 with less then 4k miles from a local member

 

trans is fine shifts really good no issues But ya never know
I may pick up a used stall 9.5 inch see how it does temp wise pulling light loads
Burns up i guess its time to call PB and buy a trans n stall

 

Sounds like a good plan to me!

Don't forget a tru cool 40k unless you already have one...

 

If your trans takes a dump, cant you just send it back for a cut open and washout?
Any TC shop should be able to do this for a minimal charge. PI gives you a free stall adjustment within the 1st 2 years, maybe instead of a stall adjustment, you could get a washout instead?

A 258mm multi disk 3600 CDS converter would fit your app nicely IMO

 

YEA I KNOW!
Just that $1045 price tag doesnt fit nicely with my bank account

 

buy me a yank 3600ss and come swap mine out and you can have the converter
