Why GM / Chevy Owners Choose Monster

  • Converters matched to **cam, gearing, tire, weight, and use**—clean launch, cooler temps.
  • **Billet covers** and **multi-disc** options for stable lockup under load.
  • **Hardened/forged hubs**, bearings, and premium friction materials to cut slip and heat.
  • Each unit **balance-checked** for smooth apply and long clutch life.
  • Backed by strong **warranty**, install guidance, and fast core processing.

How do I pick stall?

Match stall to cam/gear/tire/weight/usage. For tow/daily, go slightly lower stall; for aggressive cams or sticky tires, step up.

Do I need a billet cover or multi-disc?

Recommended for heavy trucks, towing, tuning, or higher torque—keeps lockup stable and reduces heat.

Choosing stall (match the combo)

Stall should follow cam, gearing, tire, weight, and usage. Towing or daily stock cams prefer lower stalls for control and heat management; aggressive cams and sticky tires may need higher stalls to get into the powerband without bogging.

Billet covers & multi-disc lockup

Heavier vehicles and higher torque benefit from billet covers (rigidity under lockup) and additional clutch area (multi-disc) for stable, repeatable lockup at load—especially with tuning, towing, or track use.

Cooling & fluid quality

Converters multiply torque (heat!). Run fresh full-synthetic ATF and verify strong cooler return flow. Add a low-restriction auxiliary cooler to keep temps in check during towing, big power, or hot climates.

Installation checklist (quick hits)

  • Measure pilot & crank depth; confirm converter seats fully (3 clicks on many units)
  • Verify flexplate pattern & hardware length; use new bolts with thread locker
  • Spin converter while drawing to flexplate—no binding; check runout
  • Flush/replace cooler & lines; confirm return flow
  • Fill with correct ATF; set level warm per OE spec

Break-in & lockup strategy

First 300–500 miles: easy throttle, varied speeds, no sustained WOT. If lockup is tunable, ramp it in progressively to seat the clutch. Recheck fluid level after first heat cycles.

Converter FAQs

How do I pick the right stall?

Match stall to cam, gearing, tire, weight, and usage. When in doubt, choose slightly lower stall for tow/daily; call us with your setup.

Do I need a billet cover or multi-disc?

For heavy trucks, towing, or higher torque, yes—added rigidity and clutch area stabilize lockup and reduce slip/heat.

Will a higher stall overheat my transmission?

Not when correctly matched and cooled. We strongly recommend an auxiliary cooler for towing and performance builds.

What about core returns?

Most converters include a refundable core charge. We provide return instructions; credit is issued after inspection.
