Thread: Ever had an after market TC out of balance

Sure feels like mine is, Does not matter sitting still or driving, rev it and you get vibration.

Yes I have. Just went thru that. I thought it was engine as it had been rebuilt with new TRW pistons and I just assumed they were way out of match. I got another torque converter from a guy, because I thought it would give me more stall. It did but only about 150 RPM. But vibration went away. Now it's smooth as silk. Mine was Boss Hog, Nightstalker.

I keep hearing about problems with the Boss Hog product ....................

This is just a plane Jane 700r4 rebuild, came with The converter. Its done it since day one, I pulled the inspection cover bolts are tight, no visible cracks in flex plate, I'll just pull it and get another converter. I can hear my buddy now, Yea ya get what ya pay for, as he tightens the last bolt on the reinstall. LOL

One thing you can try is to re-index the convertor. Mark the convertor/flywheel together as a starting index, remove all the bolts and rotate the convertor to the next convertor/flywheel alignment and reinstall the bolts. You may need to rotate/re-index the convertor to the third position. Sometimes the proccess works, sometimes it doesn't - but it's worth a shot. D
