Hi all

I am thinking installing a Torque Converter for my GS430. Can any one explain the pros and cons?

well, you will knock about .5 sec off your 0-60 times, prob feel alot more torque when launching. the cons i think its that you cant power brake and if you might spin your rear wheels if you dont know how to drive it. also if you get a bad t/c i think you might have probs. not sure what kind of probs, but i think someone in this forum mentioned it b4. anyways, thats just from what i hear, someone correct me if im wrong.
