i have a stock 6spd with a transgo jr. i was thinking about getting suncoast converter without doing the clutches. it shifts great an doesnt feel like it has any slippage and im running a 500rwhp tune. has anyone done this or does anyone have any input.
Allison 6sp: stock clutches with suncoast converter

if you are running 12.80 on a stock trans and just transgo Jr, your clutches are probably smoked.
I would do the whole thing in one shot....give Big Dipper a shout and he'll get ya squared away....
I did just the transgo jr and the 1057 a deep pan and a brace at almost 3,000 miles it lasted almost 18,000 miles and limits once on the bottle.The George had to fix her up.
I had never "limped" my trans with the Transgo JR. and it shifted perfectly. When Eric pulled it apart to do a Stage IV I had some pretty smoked clutches. It seems the 6 speed trans will take more abuse without showing the signs of it. It's good in one respect, but it also hides issues that are about to happen.
Just an FYI.
Edit: If it were me, I would do the clutches. As the R&R is a large portion of the expense/trouble.

I have a feeling my transmission is like that. That is why I put in a smaller tune until I can afford a trans rebuild.

I talked Pat into that as far as Wendy goes. He agreed and we learned. I need to know what the failure limit is so I can advise people. Pat and I found out.:hug:
Dale found it also:rofl: Some people just dont listen Mike
I never thought I would push my truck that much,Figured I was staying with the Bully Dog and that was it.:rofl:
I think we were all in this boat and one time or another. I bought my truck, it was staying 100% stock, "I'll have this thing till I die
" A week later exhaust and predator, thats it. Fast forward to built trans, efi, lift pumps, etc, etc, etc.
