    Circle D TC 1800-2000 or 2200-2400 Stall ?

    I put the 1800-2000 stall converter in. So far it’s been great. I had to have Black Bear Performance tune it though.

    Alright. I didn’t want to leave this post without any conclusions. Last week I got a base tune from BBP. Which made big improvements. The shudders and TCC slip are almost nonexistent. It appears the more I drive the better it’s getting. So not sure if the transmission is still learning or...

    @BlackBearPerf AutoCal received and tune files sent over to you. Hoping to get this driveable and seeing if the TCC improves! Thanks!

    @mikeyss That’s unfortunate. Did you happen to ever run that Circle D converter without a Black bear tune? If so, I’m curious if you had the same issue in having with the a slight shudder and converter not locking up when it should. Thanks!

    Thanks for the insights. Was your original trans all stock with a BB tune?

    I just got ahold of Black Bear. Waiting to hear back from Justin who I think is the Tuner, in regards to my issues. I want make sure 110% a tune will fix this.

    I tried calling you and no one answered. Are you on the West coast?

    @NickTransmissions So where do you buy your 6L80 torque converters? :)

    Makes sense. Just sucks because I have already spent money for a Diablew tune. I dont think Lew can adjust (waiting email confirmation) the needed parameters to fix this. So now I need to decide if I want to invest in HP tuners or rip out the Circle D and go with a more factory like Converter.

    I did not see any anything in their literature about needing a tune.

    I just got off the phone with Circle D. They said the problem is with the TCM tune. They mentioned the TC needs more PSI than what a stock converter requires. Does that make sense to anybody?

    Well the test driving didn’t go as planned. I put on about 50 miles of testing. It appears the converter is having an issue. It acts like it doesn’t want to stay locked up. It has shuddering and what feels like slight slippage. This occurs in all the gears and at any speed. I will be ripping it...

    @NickTransmissions Test driving after getting it all together. When cruising at 60mph in 6th gear, The RPMs seem to pulse slightly on the tach. In your mind, Would that indicate a converter problem? Thanks.
