for those with autos and interested in a bit of info.i replaced stock t converter and flex plate with hd ones.the rattle at 2250 rpm every one complains about is a little more subdued but still there.i also changed zf 4hp22 to the 4hp24 internals.so,drivability?shifts smoother and revs stay a little lower between shifts.lock up in fourth still happens at 40mph with light throttle.will stay locked up even at 30mph with light throttle but gives symptoms like a manual in too high of a gear wilst slowing down.1300rpm in 4th lock up at 40mph!
over all an improvement.the 4hp24 conversion i did myself as all of my 2003-2004 donor cars have this auto anyway.so no cost there.t converter to canada pricey.i have since spoken to a machine shop and they can adapt my v8 t converters to td5 tconverters for a little over 2 hours labour.flex plates are simply cnc laser cut.most machine shops can do this fairly easy.
for you boys over there,the price of hd tconverter and flex plate are reasonable
ie no shipping and core fee.
i would recommend this swap if you have a few extra bucks and a weekend to squander and like auto driving.
