Any 4t60e stall converters or lsd's?

[bob442]

get me the numbers off of your TQ. should be a sticker in the moddle flex plate side. should be like 2242 HKDG. whats your cam specs/power band. i'll get a price tomorrow if possible.

you may find that article useful... at least for stock converters.

check out 5WFW, that's the 95 L-body 3100 converter, stalls out to ~1630.

Alright, so decide on a stall speed, i just talked to our TQ rebuilder, asked him about frictions, and he uses kevlar on them and appreantly they are pretty much indestructble, i just gathered what i told you about kevlar based on the bands we used at one point.
None the less, call the shop toll free, Ask for Ryan, tell him you want a stock rebuilt TQ for your 95 4t60E with a stall between 2200-2500 shipped. I can offer you shipping the TQ from the border when i go down to the US in about 6-8 weeks. that should cut the shipping price in half.

Correct. You can get a W-body converter and that is a 2095 stall... You won't notice much of a difference I ran that in my daily driver 95 just for shits and giggles. Or you can get a N-body 99 Quad 4 torque converter which is near 2600 IIRC... Mine is a custom made PDQ converter which is around 3k stall... Someone had one made a long time ago and sold it on ebay, thats where I got it from, but I had to send it back to them once to have them clean it out and inspect it after a trans failure and he double checked everything and double checked the stall speed as well so I was sure on what it was.

Honestly I don't mind if you ask the questions... I would rather get a question than see a thread get started that has been answered dozens of times before. My opinion on LSD's... Yes Quaife is probably one of the best, they make one for a 4t65e, and I've still never tested to see if you can use one of those in a 4t60e case. Jeff From EP is next on the list as far as LSD quality. He is the only one who makes a true clutch type LSD unit where you can re-build the unit after miles of abuse. A Phantom Grip or TG insert is only two plates with springs, so your basically relying on two metal shims behind the spider gears to act as clutches... and to be honest that doesn't work out well, they gall up in seconds and will fuse the spider gears to the differential housing, destroying all parts it touches... Also to say a LSD is only necessary for a auto-x car is not the best statement. One of the biggest failures on a 4t60e is the center pin galling to the top and bottom spiders, breaking the retaining roll pin and then floating within the case scoring the inside of the diff housing and spreading aluminum throughout your trans, ask me how I know. For your training Machinist, I'm sure if he knows anything if he saw how EP designs the diff and how Phantom Grip and TG makes their inserts I think he would understand where I'm coming from and what damage could be done.

4t60e's will not accept any extra plates in a clutch pack, they are as tight as you can get them... if you add anymore the pack wont move, the Transgo kit is simply a shift improvement kit, not a performance kit. It will correct some of the delayed shifts that were causing premature failure in these transmissions and firm up the TCC engagement and such. To get better shifts, you should use an adjustable pressure regulator as we discussed, and you can also shim the springs on your shift accumulators... I have mine shimmed quite a bit, their purpose is to absorb the shock from the shift, so the stronger the spring the less shock absorbed so the shift happens quicker and more crisp, less chance of slip with a high HP application.

fairly relevant question since there seems to be some solid torque converter knowledge in the thread already...

torque converter clutch: can they be made to withstand more torque, how much more, and what kind of cost?

i know some of the TCC lock/unlock settings in the factory tunes are setup as-is due to having the converter locked any further just overstresses the clutch and leads to eventual failure... with something like a LH0, it LOVES the converter to be locked up as soon as possible and for as long as possible(at least it feels a little more ballsy).

I'm sure it all depends on what your willing to pay, as some have said, almost anything can be done if your willing to pay for it... Also as noted I didn't have mine custom built so I'm unsure of what material my clutch is made from. And to be honest the power I use on the street when it does lock will most likely not overpower what is in there, but if I were to use the TCC lockup during my 1/4 mile run as almost another gear then yeah it would probably come in handy to know that it can handle 300+ HP... LOL

Also it feels more ballsy because your going from fluid coupling to almost 0 slip so kinda like a manual clutch engagement.

[robertisaar]

well, a really good example is in 3rd gear, around ~35MPH in 4rd gear (3.33 FDR with ~25.x" tires), i have left it unlocked before just to make sure it wasn't me, and it feels SOOOO slow with the same amount of throttle compared to with the TCC locked... fuel efficiency drops as well with it unlocked, so there's 2 major upsides to being able to have it locked with more throttle.

I looked in the books, the links on here dont work for me, i can get a stock stall of 2375, and get the turbines tig welded up for added strength.

Team Green also makes LSD kits similar to the Phantom Grip kits. I imagine the prices aren't any cheaper though.

[slinky]

anyone have a list of the cars and stock stall speeds that i could use in my 4t60e or a website that sells after market ones?

And also does anyone know of a more lightweight flexplate i could use?

[robertisaar]

i posted a link to an article that has all of them...

[slinky]

i ment such as
1995 beretta 4t60e: 1650 stall
