Torque Converter and False Knock

[AXXE]

I have recently read a few posts that aftermaket higher stall converters will create some false knock reading. Why?

 

[ed hess]

my best guess would be because they were manufactured by tcs.

Ed - How much false knock did you get with the TCS? How much do you get now?

knock wasnt an issue with that POS.

Its funny (sad) how so many people told me their horror stories with BH and tcs,
And bh swears no one ever had a problem. seems he tells everyone this when they have a problem.

My problems were 4k stall, vibrations at idle, vibrations at shift points.
This resulted in a confirmed lack of confidence in the manufacturer and supplier.

dont beleive me...go ask skata how his current project is going.

Or the guy that lives 15 miles from bh and has spent 3800 inthe last 14 months and still has no tranny. No bashing just fact.

higher stall speeds per se wont cause false knock.
noisy multi disc clutches could.
