Just as bad.

If you cannot fully release the car with your foot on the throttle, never do that, ever.

It drives the stored energy right back into the sprag and the stator.

That said, your problem could be anything, from a converter problem to a mismatch, to an ignition problem.

6400 sounds high for a 406 bracket motor,,or what are you trying to run with the car?

What was the old converter acting like right before you took it out?

What does JW say about this?
