Its 3 bolts, after you pull the tranny. There are 6 bellhousing bolts and 1 for the dipstick tube. Pull your cats off, if you still have them . Pull the driveline, 4 bolts. I just loosen the bracket under the AC compressor that holds the metal tranny lines, and that is enough room to get the TC out. I hate those lines, it seems everytime I have taken those off, they leak a little.
My father owns a mechanic shop, so I have pulled a few tranny's, GM or Mitsubishi 5-speed trucks being the easiest.
I did mine in about 2.5 hours, but I have yanked mine before, had the S-10 TC, and would have been quicker, but this time I had Quads, and H-pipe to deal with.

If you have never "stabbed" a TC, I would let some one do it that has. It can be a bit tricky sometimes. You have to spin it until it "clunks" and falls towards the tranny 3 times. The first time you do one, you will know what I am talking about.

It is not hard, but can be a little towards pushing your temper on getting the tranny lined back up, if you hve never done it before.

Very true, NEVER EVER force it. The TC must be turned back and forth until the splines line up so that it seats DEEP into the tranny. In fact there is a minimum/maximum about of play that you must have between the TC and the flywheel. NEVER force a tyranny to mate up with the block!!!!!

BTW, my highway mileage went up considerably after I got the Edge TC. I know for a fact that my locked up RPMs went down after the Edge!

Mine went in today Since this is pretty much my first car that has a slush box I paid to have it installed. I did get to watch and it would have taken me way to long doing it on the ground. I would have posted some times at the track, but it was 39 here and the sun never came out . The track didn't open at all. I do like the TC though, it seems to give a constant pull from launch through the gears. I am having a surge problem, but I think if I raised the idle it would go away. I can't wait to go to the drag strip on Tuesday.

You've got a surge problem because you've changed from a very heavy 12" TC to a much lighter and loser 9.5" TC. Does it also surge while idling at a light? Does the surging seem to oscillate and get worse over time? Does it go away if you slip it into neutral?

I had the surge problem too, but that was before I got Bryan to reprogram the PCM. Now, with the new PCM update it idles nice and doesn't surge at all at the end of the 1/4 mile run.

There is one other problem you may have with the new TC if you have OBD-1. There is a VSS signal bug that causes the PCM to go into limp home mode. It'll work fine the first few times, or if you don't get too wild. However, do a burnout and then try to launch and you may notice that it goes soft as if the trans is slipping. If this happens, ask Bryan for the VSS fix.

One other benefit of the re-program by Bryan is that he lowered the TCC lockup speed to ~40mph in 4th and to ~32mph in 3rd. For anyone with a 3000 or higher stall this will make drivability soo much better.

I do have a new bin file from Bryan, but he did not change the idle. I just raised it to 825 (from 725) and it's better, but I still need to go higher. I'll move this over to the drivetrain area.

[/QB]</font>[/QUOTE]Ehem, idle speed should have NOTHING to do with this problem! I don't believe that is what he changes because my idle didn't change with the re-program. In fact my idle is now lower because I lowered it a bit.

However, 725 does seem low. But like I said, Bryan does something to adjust for the smaller TC and it's NOT to raise the idle!

Is this GP still avalible. Ineed a TC for my car.

 

[Guest]

I'm sure edge still give out that price concidering we went way over on the gp

My convertor arrived today. Outside box was taped well and had 9 staples on each side to keep it from opening. After 10mins of prioring open the 1st box I reached the 2nd box. Point is the convertor was package very well!!

 

[Guest]

Glad to hear it made the trip safely, Jimmy. I got the e-mail letting me know mine is on the way, yesterday. Hopefully it should be here the begining of the week, if not sooner.

My final numbers came out to be a 2980 Stall with a 2.43 STR.

Oh, and my tubular manifolds came in today as well. Can't wait for Saturday to get here.

 

[Guest]

Mine's on the way also!!!
Any tips on install?

 

[Guest]

Soooo. Is everyone happy with the Edge converters???

 

[Guest]

Finally got my Edge TC installed! Drove around but could not find an opportunity to get on it Track opens next month But I do have the idle surge problem talked about in the above posts. Guess I'll e-mail Bryan H.

I finally got to race on mine.
I had to take the Quads off and put on stock cats and manifolds, "Kalifornia Smog Nazi's".
But I am running about the same as I was with the S-10 TC and Quads with exports.
The 60' is within .02 of each other, avg. between the 4-5 runs I made on street tires. The ET is a little higher, .2 sec. and the mph is a little lower by 2-3 mph. Headers should take care of both.
But I will be getting that mid 13's and 100 mph when my order gets here.
15x8 wheels and 275/50/15 BFG DR.
