The answer to that is it depends on who made the converter, and it's intended application. whether it was a "tight" (little slippage at low speed) or "loose" slips noticeably until you nail it. There is a bit of black magic in converters and one usually gets what they pay for. Years ago there were 99.00 converters in the magazines wink
