With the info from the is board, I put a 4r70w into my 95 turbo Mustang. Finally broke into the 10's on a stock shortblock street machine.
I have the PI 3 disk converter that I just got back from Circle D converters for the 2nd time. I had a clutch jam up and cause a partial lockup all the time, so I sent it back and he fixed it for me no charge (nice guy).
I just ran it again to get my best time, and after locking it up in 2nd at WOT a few times, the converter won't lockup anymore. I have it hard wired to a switch. When I give it power, the rpm's are just barely affected when they would used to drop drastically. The tranny fluid has some stuff in it also.
Does it sound like I tore up the clutches in the converter again?
If so, is there a HP limit to these 3 disk clutches? I'm guestimating about 550 ft. torque. is what I'm doing.
I've got a baby on the way, money is going to be super tight, and I don't look forward to putting out the time or money to pull this tranny out and fix the converter again, not to mention getting the clutch material out of the tranny somehow.
Just curious? Is there any stock converters in the 2700 stall range that can handle 10 second runs if I don't lockup the converter? (That'll bolt to a 5.0 flexplate). Might be a good short term solution before I shell out $400 for another rebuild.
