The G8 has a Circle D converter and for some reason the lockup clutches were so worn out that the converter destroyed itself, Quick R&R and she back to running to the Grocery store!

I have a g8 as well, i only have the TC lockup in 5 and 6th. Its a 2900 stall.

@Tarez205 Год назад

Could’ve just cut the old trans lines and tapped into those and re-used those. They’re already routed and big enough

@DAPerform Год назад

Could have but with the AN line there’s less failure points. Especially since the cut lines would have no flare or anything to hold a hose on them

I use to want a bigger converter but the stock 6l90 has been doing fine for 150k. Ctsv/zl1 converter not big enough?

@DAPerform Год назад

The car came with the circle d converter but had a sub par trans tune which we think caused the lockup clutches to have too much load and prematurely wear out. Hopefully with the new tune she’ll be good to go

@MAD_BST Год назад

if you can tell me which converter it was i can tell you if its the good one or not. the cheaper ones that circle d suggest i heard break under pressure, you have to get the 1400 dollar triple disk one for it to not break. i hear its the metal in the cheaper ones that cant take it.

07-12-05-2C is the part number. I guess it could be a factor but when the car was purchased it had a poor transmission tune which probably prematurely shortened the lifespan of the converter

@TonyTheTruckGuy Год назад

Good work! Did Circle D determine it was an issue with a tune, or failure on their end? Curious if they covered it or if you had to pay to repair it.

@DAPerform Год назад

Out of pocket since we didn’t buy the converter from him. We did have a torque converter lock up issue but not sure what the culprit was. Could have been the lock up solenoid. Unsure about the converters life before the G8 as well.

@TonyTheTruckGuy Год назад

@@DAPerform I see. Did you replace the solenoid or have any issues after reinstalling the converter?

@DAPerform Год назад

@@TonyTheTruckGuysolenoid was replaced with no luck. Went through some other components in the trans and ultimately it was the lock up clutches in the converter that gave way

@TonyTheTruckGuy Год назад

@@DAPerform Just unlucky with that one I guess then. Thanks for the reply!

@jaycosby4606 Год назад

My Circle D went out after 500 miles. Car has over 170xxx miles but I’m starting to think it’s not a good converter . I could be wrong but that’s just my 2 cents.

@DAPerform Год назад

Could be more than just a converter. Line pressure plays a big part in converter/transmission life and function

Would love to see more pov drives of this beauty 🔥

@michaelelwell8267 Год назад

What heater hoses did you use on your G8?

@DuheSpeedShop Год назад

Nice work! Sounding good 👍🏻

@DAPerform Год назад

Finally back to running good too

@brandonbowman3088 Год назад

What code did you get? I wonder if I’m having a similar issue

@DAPerform Год назад

P0741, I noticed my tc clutch lock up was hard for a few hundred miles before it completely stopped engaging. Figured it was the tune causing the rough lock up but was the clutch itself failing

Love it...

Great info and details, thank you for sharing.

@DAPerform 11 месяцев назад

Absolutely!

What’s she putting down for rwhp?

@DAPerform Год назад

It made 412/420 last summer while the radiator hose was popping off after each pull lol.

@finesse6053 Год назад

@@DAPerform that pretty much where mine sits. Currently doing a bunch of suspension upgrades similar to yours recently. How I found you on YT. My PSM 09 g8 GT is at 49k miles currently but those miles don’t help it weigh less 😂
