A common question is can you daily drive a Trimatic high stall converter? Simple answer is yes with a level of awareness. We recommend buying a high quality stall converter like the TCI brand as these are a "tight" converter and allows nice daily driving without the overheating & slipping problems. The higher the stall speed you choose, the less comfortable daily driving experience you will get. Most comfortable daily driven high stall speeds are 2200 rpm, 3000 rpm and 3500 rpm. If you are unsure, we are happy to help and will walk you through a process to achieve the correct high stall converter to suit your needs. Our expert sales team are experienced engine builders & enthusies with decades of experience to help.

The Holden V8 flexplates, these OEM flexplates suffer from broken flexplates that fracture around the flange bolts, dont use the "plate" to fix this as it does not work, the fault is still behind this plate. We strongly recommend upgrading and replacing your OEM flexplate / Driveplate with the best flexplates in stock if you intend to increase the HP and Torque output of your Holden 308 V8.
