Anyone ever use these from Rock Auto? I am thinking on swapping out my 1375 stall for this 2075 stall. I don't want to spend alot on a high dollar or race built TC as this is a cruiser that I drive a little hard @ times.

 

Just bought a 2000-2200 stall converter from Total Transmissions out of Chicago. Seems to be doing great and it ran about the same price as the one you are looking at. I had heard from other people firsthand that have used them and had good luck so I went with them. Mine seems to stall a lil under advertised @ maybe 1950-2000 but sometimes they do loosen up a bit once broke in.. Im happy with it for under $250

 

Thanks bud.
Is this the one you got from them? I do have the lock up on my 700r4.

 

Yep

 

Thanks for the info, I will keep it in my mind. I appreciate you.

 

Disclaimer: I have no experience WHATSOEVER with this brand; never even heard of it.

With that out of the way, Rock Auto isn't dumb. They wouldn't carry something for very long if it caused problems. Comebacks, complaints, etc. would lead them to seek elsewhere real quick. Same as the house-brand stuff at Summit, Jeg's, etc.; whether any of it is "the best" or not, at the very least, it causes few problems, or at least, only manageable ones. I'd say, for yerbasic stock replacement anyway, they're a decent enough risk.

 

Have to disagree here. Not to turn the whole thread into something anti-RockAuto, but to hopefully save the OP from the ridiculous assumption that something he gets from RockAuto is likely to be decent.

RockAuto is SO dumb I stopped ordering anything from them years ago. And because they don't have a real customer service department they don't care at all about "comebacks, complaints". This is actually the dumbest part of their whole business.

So again, not trying to turn this whole thread, just do NOT assume RockAuto carries anything quality that you can't get through a better vendor, and understand that if you order from them you may be stuck with some garbage they sent you that doesn't even fit your car.

I personally would go with another part/vendor recommended by other users with actual real life experience (like maybe the one recommended by dmccain).

 

Nobody said anything about "assume RockAuto carries anything quality", that I noticed. Someone DID however say something like "for yerbasic stock replacement anyway, they're a decent enough risk". That's NOT EVEN the same thing, or even very close. Don't keyboard-warrior twisted meanings that are whatever concept you'd like to make yourself feel all superior by attacking, into somebody else's mouth. It's election season, there's already enough of that going on all around us.

 

Thanks for the advice fellas, I ended up ordering the one Dmccain suggested.

 

Probably a good decision. Hope it works great for you.

 

I'm not pro or anti-Rock Auto. I've gotten some good stuff from them, but I also got some tail light sockets that were so terrible I had to throw them in the trash and buy a whole new set somewhere else for a higher price. So yeah, it's a gamble. My most recent purchase was a new radiator (Denso, not the cheap brand) for my 2006 Toyota 4Runner, and it's excellent.
The price from the local auto parts store was double...

 

If we were driving 500hp cars here id go for a name brand for sure. For sub 300hp cars these reman higher stall converters have worked fine for me and other friends of mine in the past. I ran multiple S10 T/C for years in several of these cars behind 700r-4s no problems. I went with this particular T/C from Total Transmission this time because of several people I personally know have used them in the past with zero issues and so far so good for me as well.

 

I have had a chance now to drive the car a few times and this TC works just fine. No issues and it definitely stalls higher than the original. My tach is off on the high side so not sure the RPM but definitely a good choice for stock or slightly modified. I was all in at under $250 and don't think a new $400+ TC would do any better for me.
I really like the whole combo of the higher stall TC, a Corvette shift servo and the Sonax blue gear governor. I did these other parts at the same time. It takes off quicker, shifts faster and firmer and holds the gear longer when under acceleration. Of course it lites up the tires alot better and quicker!!

 

Thanks for updating the thread with your result. Good to hear success.

 

Upon driving mine more with this converter ive realized it does flash around 2200= and footbrakes around 1900. Will absolutely light those tires up with the 350 engine!

 

Does a pretty good job with the 5.0 also!



And yes that is in front of my house!

 

Yesir it does! Should be quite a nice setup you have there Vinny!
