07 4L60E trans question

[992dr]

It's your money, do with it what you want but I have never heard of anyone making the trade off you mention above when it comes to converter clutches...Are you saying the "lighter" clutch somehow provides measurable gains over a thicker (and vastly superior) clutch? Or am I misunderstanding?

Billet covers arent needed unless high performance or frequent HD towing/hauling.

Sorry, I can't say I'm the best at explaining.

I was just assuming the use of lighter more modern materials were beneficial over the traditional paper style. Though it is thinner being a superior fabric would be better/stronger than traditional paper style clutches.

I will be towing more frequently that was the reasoning for the billet cover. I think that's what ended my current converter because I did a lot more towing at the end of the year than I typically would have.

Yea if you're going to be regularly towing heavy loads, I'd spring for the billet cover on your TC.

@NickTransmissions can you recommend or have a source where you get your converters from?

Several here have used Florida Torque Converters and have had good luck w/them.

All of my converters are built locally by my machinist/torque converter builder.
