if your talking about the "lag" from takeoff....thats actually the motor and turbo not quite being prepared for a hard accel.....i would bet your converter actually isnt the problem....plus there are also electrically controlled solenoids in the trans that can allow some slippage internally depending on what they are told to do based on info from sensors that the PCM gets........Marc
