i don't think that the torque converter is helping you in this situation, the TC is for drag racing, maybe the best or one of the best solutions for you is to send the tip ecu to evoms for a tuning

Hey Ninjaboy, you will be in need of a tranny rebuild soon. The clutch packs for the 3rd to forth gear shift are very small yet have to handle the majority of the torque. I can help you out as I have just done this. PM me.

I'm referring to replacing the clutch packs assuming there are no hard parts to replace.

are the clutch packs special for the tip ? sorry for the dumb questions but i really don't know so much about this kind of tranny, i had a minor problem with a small leak between the TC and the gearbox and that's all, but my car is stock.
i what to learn everything about the tip what mods and what problems they have.

looking good for sure. but your TC is definitely going to bite the dust soon. I saw a jump from 4-5k instantly when you nailed it. That means slippage. So definitely start looking for one now. congrats on a fast tip.
