Stock Torque Converter

i pulled the shield off of the bottom side of the trans to take a look at the converter, and see if my rear main was leaking. when i took it off the converter was like a purple color. i didnt think much of it until now im looking to buy a stall and found that this company paints theirs the same color. so i was just wondering what the stock converter looked like and if i already have a stall.


i believe the company was oregon performance transmissions

some people will say to do a brake stand and what not, but that doesn't work just to let you know

Sounds like a Vigilante. They paint theirs purple. Is it smaller than a stock TC? The only way you will be able to find out the stall is it you take it out and find a number and the company or if you take it to a Tranny Shop... Some have Torque Converter dynos and they could tell you the stall.
