I think I know my converter is getting weak just wanted to get some other opinions and see if it may not be another drive line issue. Converter locked at 60mph and I lay into her I get a shutter which somewhat shakes the truck a little. Sometimes she does it, sometimes not. Flat ground just getting into her.

Everytime I had a TC or a stick car blow through the clutch it would feel like a loss of power like just barely pushing the clutch in just enough to slip it.
When they got bad enough it would show on the tach.

I had a shudder in mine when I would get on it. Turned out my planetary gear exploded. Never had any issues except the shudder.

Huh, good to know. Did it shudder any other time say if you were going 75mph down the highway?

It shudders sometimes in my hottest tune when I set the cruise control on the interstate. But that's it I'm not sure why. I was think maybe its the size tires and being that my tranny isn't calibrated. I'm not sure.

Ya I agree, my getting on it with converter locked maybe axle wrap but the slight shudder at cruising speed is either tires or trans I think. Thanks
