Hi, I just have a question about a converter I have. The stock converter has 3 threaded bolt holes, the new converter has 3 holes, no threads, just a plate welded on there with a hole. How does this work and attatch to the flywheel? Does this have anything to do with the converter being breakaway? I have no clue about this stuff. Thanks.

Sup dan, the breakaway converter uses a nut and bolt combo, instead of the stock bolt-into-threaded-hole-which-likes-to-strip-out-a-lot. People sell "torque converter nuts and bolts," but all you're buying is a set of high grade, fine thread bolts that fit through the converter. It's fun gettin nuts up there, don't get me wrong (I had the breakaway.... or one of those TCI converters), and it's do-able, and not too bad. Good luck.

 

Thanks Dan... Thats what I kinda thought it was, but theres no nuts and bolts with it, where would I get these from?

 

You're best bet is go to pepboys, and go to the chevy section and look for the "torque convertor nuts and bolts" that I mentioned, and take notice to the size, length and thread of it's contents, and then walk over to the bolt section and buy the same bolts as what's in the package, it'll save you $3-$4.

 

DONT FORGET THE LOCKTITE!

 

Yeah that too.
