Title: 3000 stall non lockup AOD converter for trade
Post by: Clintd on April 21, 2010, 08:15:46 AM
I'm looking for a 2500-3000 lockup converter far a AOD. I have a 3000 stall non-lockup converter to trade.

The only reson for this offer is I just bought a 3200 10" converter for my track car and I figured I would put the 3000 stall in my DD car.
But I would rather retain lockup for a car I'll be driving 98 miles a day.

If nothing in about 3 weeks Ill just put the 3000 in.

I don't think everyone knows how they work. If I had my auto yet I would be interested.

without lockup you don't get that huge RPM drop from 2nd to 3rd and it still uses torque multiplication in 3rd and 4th. the drawback is you lose about 1-2 mpg highway and the trans runs hotter (you will need a trans cooler).

The AOD doesn't really have lockup, it has a direct drive that is used for 3rd and 4th. If you look at a AOD with the converter off you will see a small shaft in the middle which is the direct shaft then the next one is the impeller driven shaft.

The only reason i want to retain lockup is because I drive this car 114 miles a day.

If you'r not interested in a trade would you want ot sell the converter? Only if it still has direct drive.
