| Post subject: | torque convertor |
I see a few questions on torque convertors and higher stall and I have a question. I have been driving in Vancouver B.C. traffic for a couple of months now. I am considering a cam and higher stall convertor. How does stop and go traffic affect the higher stall? Sometimes its a real snail pace. I dont want to be squawking the tires and then stopping 10 feet later. Also what will happen if I end up trying to move while under stall speed? Thanks for your responses. |

I have a 2800 (tests actually to 2500), and I haven't had any problems, no noticeable difference, takes off slow just fine, except when I punch it, it launches pretty good. It won't really creep much waiting at the stop light, but it doesn't lurch if I take off slow. I did get an extra deep (extra quart) oil pan though, for better heat control. |

Add an extra cooler in series with your factory cooler. The factory cooler will warm the fluid in cold weather. A temp gauge isn't a bad idea. I have a 2200 stall in my van. It didn't hurt mileage over stock. It helps motivate the 5800lbs up steep hills. |

I have driven as high as 4200 stalls on the street as daily drivers. If you do not stand on it, you will never notice the difference. I run deep pans on all my transmissions, and a small extra cooler. |
