Car slowed down 2 tenths..Advice?

I had a similar problem. Found out when I sent the converter back to be freshened up that I had ripped several fins out of it. No metal in the fluid, it still appeared to stall okay, but ET dropped out several tenths over the season. Good luck.

I had this happen before and it not be the convertor....after I pulled the convertor twice. It is probably a long shot but I would atleast check the throttle linkage(especially if its a cable). My throttle cable stretched causing the car to slow without any real symptions or notices. Just something to check before tearing into stuff, but its probably the convertor.
