I have a AU2 6cyl
Im planning to fit a cam which will range from 2500-6000rpm I was wondering if anyone knew if it would be worth me getting my stock AU2 torque converter 'reflashed' from its current stall speed of 1800-2000rpm to its maximum? Im hoping for 2500rpm. If not, what alternative stall converters are out there? also cost? I also understand I will need a trans cooler, but could I get away without having a LHM module?

wtf are u on about
u cannot "reflash" your torque converter reflashing is to do with electronic components NOT mechanical yes a trans cooler is good no matter what fit one! and wtf is the LHM module?

I thought you could remove the stock torque converter and get the insides of it modified to accept a higher stall speed. Well I thought you could with older transmissions like c4's etc. It can be called 'reflashing' in an attempt to move the standard stall speed to an alternate one. LHM = limp home module. Im trying to avoid having to use one if possible.

well essentially u are right
but never heard of it called re flashing most time a new convertor is purchased and replaced not sure if it is needed on your car the limp home module ?? there is a limp home function that is part of the gearbox if something goes wrong

change over convertor is the best way, I can get them though work, im running a 2800high stall, and yes you MUST fit a auto cooler, and FORGET about the radiator cooler, that was one of fords BIGGEST mistakes running the transcooler though the auto, I get about 3-4 falcons from EL-BF that do the heat exchange, I.E. you have your coolant in your radiator, running 95oC and you have your auto oil running though it at about 120oC there is only a plastic wall in a radiator between them, that cracks, coolant, and ATF mix, byebye radiator, bye bye gearbox ... "heat exchange"
If I ever get another car, first thing i would do is fit an auto cooler.
