You have a great point. I have about 20 miles or so since I installed the converter. It is fair to also note that the transmission was rebuilt by a shop and the motor is new to me as well. At this point my direction is to have the transmission shop check it's work before I make any decisions. Only then does it make sense to replace the converter. Sread, thank you for your suggestion. Once I have sign off that the transmission is functioning properly I will certainly put on a lot of miles before proceeding.
