Here's a log with several instances of the converter locking and several screenshots from that log showing what I'm talking about. If you look at it in Dashboard B you can see RPM and MPH go up and down ever so slightly immediately after lockup. I think this is the biggest problem I have with the converter. It seems to shake the truck when it locks. Mike, what do you think?

by elastic i meen as its locking it actually propells you forward as its locking .almost simular to boost coming on or a small surge of power .I dint have tht feeling with my 57. but i do like hows this converter feels and locks over all i do like my 58 better then my 57 thers no shake in mine just nice and solid

I get a similar reaction out of my 5-star.
I now what you are saying Josh. I don't lke it either but my "stock" tranny has lived for 25000 km like this with no issues-yet.

As fast as I can, I will get some concrete data. But I like the 1055 more than anything else with a big charger. Nothing like spooling a huge single on Fuel Only in front hundreds of diesel guys.

There is something intrinsically bad-ass when that fatty wakes up and starts to howl. Primordial. Testosterone enhancing. :D

Buuuurrrrr!!!

I chill went up my spine and i gots da bumps. :D

Here's what I know for a fact.

If you clamp a clutch abruptly, it will break things if there is not something to give.

This is not conjecture, it's fact. It's like a hammer blow every time. Given enough time it will snap something.

A Firm Shift/Lockup does not have to be an impact. Quick, firm, and smooth is what saves parts.
