[QUOTE="30th6, post: 756379, member: 3271"] My buggy (heavy 4 seater) has a 5.3 with a big cam,ptc stall,th350,205, cucv (456) gears and 43 sx sticky. The buggy defiantly needs more gear for crawling but I don't want to change the axle gears because of strength and I feel like it would need more than 538s to get a real low range. The converter is too loose (about 500 rpms) but maybe because of the gearing. So I was wondering if I bought a magnum to put in front of the 205 would it be the best bang for the buck? Any do you think the converter would tighten up to where I need it to be? I really don't want to pull the entire drivetrain if it's not necessary. I've fought getting the converter dialed in since the buggy was new and I just want it to be right. Or will 538s take care of the it? [/QUOTE]
