GM Torque converters

Friday, July 30, 2010

700R4 converter's come in both a 10'' and 12'' diameter. 10'' is found behind 4 cyl. and V6 while the 12'' is in everything else. There are 8 different 10'' converters and 7 different 12'' converters. The differences in both the 10'' & 12'' are converter stall speed and dampener spring rate. The 12'' comes in a 27 or 30 input spline and a 3 or 6 mounting pad design. GM uses a sticker code (decal) or a ink # stamped on the flywheel side of the converter to ID the different stall speeds and spring rates.

Also
700R4's used behind 6.2L Diesel engines MUST use a converter with a poppet release valve. The poppet valve releases the Lock Up clutch on deceleration (coast) to prevent a chugging feeling. Never install a poppet valve converter behind a gas motor or you'll have a neutral on 3-4 upshift, 3-4 shuttle or in and out of Lock Up.
