High stall torque converter
Does anybody know if there is a shop that will rigg up a high stall torque converter for the stock tranny. Or possibly somewhere that sells them already done up.

No. I didn't test it.
I only got it because I was having the transmission rebuilt by Level 10 and they said that since they were replacing it anyway, why not have the high-stall version. I'm just about to have another transmission rebuild. A transmission shop told me yesterday that "if your fluid is black then you'll need a new torque converter". Don't know if they were just spinning me a line. But since my fluid is pretty black, I guess I'll be getting a new one. Phil. |

I got charged $175 to stay stock, but rebuilt. Came back painted a very nice shade of Ford engine block blue - anybody know what the OEM color would have been?

Last I checked all Subaru torque converters came in a nice shade of 'rust' brown. This pic was taken when Svxfiles was doing the 4.44 swap in his son's (boxer6) car...

Thanks for the comment's Lee. I had the torque converter fitted by Level10 four years ago. I don't know if they fitted a new one or modified the old one to have a higher stall.
I'll ask the transmission shop to recondition it and I'll mention that it's a high-stall version. Phil. |

If your tranny is shifting fine, just have the fluid changed and you'll be fine. Tranny fluid gets darker just like oil gets darker after a period of time. It doesn't necessarily mean that it's bad but it's pretty used up. Just imagine if your oil gets darker/black after 3000 miles.....this doesn't mean you have to get a new/rebuilt engine. You just have to change your oil. On another note, Level 10 sends the torque converter out to be rebuilt by ProTorque in New York. I was told that it's not rebuilt at their facilities. I had my torque converter rebuilt with a higher stall speed at Protorque on one of my XT6s. I haven't had a chance to really test it yet since the first time I tested it, my brake calipers siezed up. When mine was rebuilt, it came back a nice, shiny, glossy black color. My old camera doesn't show how it really looks.
