Well, against my better judgement and I SWORE I didn't want one or ever plan on even coming close to wanting one...well, now i"m beginning to lean towards one. You bunch of damn guys on here have brainwashed me into wanting one...F'ers!!! Soending all my money on my truck...it's all LS1TECH.COM's fault!!!! At least that's what I tell my wife!! ANyway, as some of y'all know I'm putting in a 212 218 522 529 114 lSA Comp soon and have been thinking about my next move being a verter, Transgo and Billet or Vette Servos. Ihaven't driven a truck with a stall, so I have NO IDEA what I would like or what to expect. I've driven old muscle cars with 3000 and up stalls and that's way too much for me, plus mine's a 4x4 and I tow and haul often. I was thinking about a 2400 or 2600? I've read and searched and I'm not a noob, so shoot me straight! But what do ya'll think about a 2400-2600 stall with the Transgo and servos? I DO NOT want a neck snapper or hard shifts when I;m driving normal or easing around with the wife and kids. However, I want good clean, crisp and fast shifts when I'm alone and letting the big dog eat! Let's hear what y'all have to say,as well as the difficulty of the install. I have never pulled a tranny, which is no problem, but I've never had one opened up, that's what worries me, should I have this done by a shop? I'm very competent and have almost every tool made...except a lift and I have no room or I'd have one!!! Thanks fellas, 'preciate the help!

 

Dont go with that small of a stall at the least a 2800 most people move up when they get such a small stall and you can get it restalled. I have a 4000 in mine and I love the thing it makes it so more fun to drive and anyone who rides in int loves it and it makes it a whole nother beast to drive.

 

The TT3000 is awesome. I love it. It's not really a 3000 stall kind of hard to describe, but it does feel good and works well driving around town and stuff. I would have no questions towing anything with my truck, and I feel that it would do just as well if not better than stock.

 

Yeah, get a TT3000. It has very good street maners. It took me about 20 seconds on the first drive to get used to it. It doesn't feel loose at all.

 

Yeah, after doing some research the TT3000 looks like the way to go, I like the idea of those stealth models, but they seem too close to stock. Why even spend the $$ if you're going to not have much difference? My biggest question is on regular takeoffs, from the driveway, stop light etc. How do these things react? Can you take off like normal and it doesn't sit and rev up and then go, or does it delay for a bit and the engine rpms spool up and then it lurches off? WTF..this is what I don't understand about them? Does it only "stall" when you power brake it or does it stall all the time, but it isn't noticeable? If someone could explain this to me this is what my big holdups on stalls have been. I definitley don't want to have any sort of "delay" from when I push the gas and expect to start moving and the time when the truck goes, unless of course I am power braking to build some power. I read Yank's whole site and could not get an answer to this as well as searches on TT3000. I guess actually driving one would answer ALL my questions or doubt, but that's impossible unless I wanna make a road trip, because I don't know anyone even close to me with one of these in a truck!

 

those are the exact same questions i have... maybe i should have asked them before i bought one... heh.

 

Well then, TEST MULE, let us know when you get your installed the answers to the 10 million dollar questions!!! LMAO Thanks ONyx, glad I'm not alone!!!

 

one problem... i wont be installing it until april, i'm not currently anywhere near my truck .. heheh... so hopefully someone else will chime in.

 

They are hard to explain really. It's kinda like your factory one, but instead of grabbing like it does at 800rpm, it does that around 1800rpm. You can easily take off with it, but if you want you can also slam heads in the headrest. I had a TT2600 on my other truck. After driving it for a day or so I thought they should have come from the factory with one of them in it. I put a TT3000 in this one. It's a lot looser when you first get it going, to loose I thought, but now that it has had some time to break in, I like it.

Definantly do the shift kit and servos. If it's done right, it will just be a nice firm quick shift, nothing jaw-snapping or anything. There are a lot of variables in it too. Once you decide on what converter you want, then we can figure out how you should install the shift kit.

As far as installing the converter, it's really pretty easy in the grand scheme of things, but some of the bellhousing bolts are a genuine pain in the rear. Once you get all of those out though, it's cake from there. Just pull the factory one off, and put the new one one. You should poor as much fluid in as you can. It will fill up, then go down, then fill up, then go down. Get at least a quart in it. When you put it on there, spin it until you hear 3 clicks. It will go back with each click. You will know when it's on becuase it will be set a good ways back in there.

When you get it all buttoned back up, be ready with somemore ATF, about 4-5 quarts if you can get a whole quart in the converter before it goes on.

 

Thanks for the good info flyer!! I'll have to get out in my truck and pay atention to the takeoff rpms and play around a bit. How long did it take the verter to "break in" and tighten up?
Yeah, Onyx, I remebered you were in the desert after I posted that!! However, you may get yours installed before me, I'm currently wrking on cam, springs, rod, P7P heads and tuning first...just doing some thinking for my next endeavor!!
