TMAX Torque converter?

**setzer6127** · 02-16-2008, 04:54 PM

Hi guys, im changing out my A4 and i thought it had a stock torque converter in it, but the one that came off has a tag on it that says TMAX 2420 and under that 8325.

Am i safe to assume this is an aftermarket TC or is this what GM puts in the WS6 stock? No one around here carrys stock, and this is my daily driver more than anything so i really was trying to keep my MPG up. So i was hesitent to put a higher stall TC in. BUT if its aftermarket then i may just put this one back in. I didnt want to slap a stock TC with 102k miles on it.

Thanks,
Casey

TXMAX is a stock converter designation.

OK, Thanks thats what i needed to know whats the average life expectancy of a stock TC? its got alittle over 102k on it. My problem is i really need to get this back together this weekend and no one carries TC around here for the LS1.

T/Cs could last past 150k. it all depends on a persons driving style.
order a t/c via a sponsor if you cant get one local
