Experince with B&M 50442 - B&M Tork Master Converter

I think I already asked this once, but do you take off in Drive or 1st?

I have a B&M quicksilver so I have tried both. If in drive, it does take of in first. If I cruise and stomp it, it will either shift to second or first depending on speed. So the tranny shifts perfect.

Do you have a spare input shaft, or can you get one. If you can, stick it in the converter and twist the shaft. If the sprag is good, one direction will be easy, the other not so easy. If it's easy in both directions, the one way roller clutch may be defective.
The big problem is trying to GUESS what is wrong with a converter as they are a sealed unit. There have been some good ideas passed your way, but again, unless you cut the converter open you never really know what is going on inside.
I wish I could give you better information.

I really appreciate your help. Like txstang84 wrote: "could the same thing be done by taking the bolts out of the flexplate and trying to rotate it on the input shaft while still installed"?

Hmmm....could the same thing be done by taking the bolts out of the flexplate and trying to rotate it on the input shaft while still installed, or would that not work the same way?

If the converter went bad (worn impeller/stator vanes) wouldn't it essentially "stall" to a higher RPM? Or is it possible there is seizing inside that basically turns it into a lockup converter?

Good thinking! I hope this works!
