Non-A-body 46re q’s

“Performing poorly and making noise ?”

Exactly what is the performance part,,,,,shifting poorly,,,,or slipping,,,,or slow to engage when first started?

And what kind of noise,,,,,when and what gear ?

Don’s experience below is similar to mine. I also hear a “growl” coming from the bellhousing. If I need a torque converter should I get one with a stall a little over stock like a 2800-3000? Would a stall be beneficial in 4- low type driving or a hindrance?


sometimes even when I feather the gas as light as I can, it refuses to shift until 3200 rpm. Sometimes it hits hard when it does shift sometimes not. Sometimes it shifts like I don't have the kickdown attached and is in 3rd by 20,
Sometimes I get into it sorta heavy and it shifts by 2000 rpm, sometimes it really slams 4th, sometimes it doesn't. This it does probably 1/4 of the time and not usually on consecutive times of shifting thru the gears.
