lets talk stall converters

ive been agonising over putting in a stall converter ,this is my daily and i just couldnt live with a sloppy converter every day .ive herd that the new style converters are so tight they drive live stock converters untill you nail the throttle.which is what im after.so is that true ,tell me about your converter so i can make my mind up.
btw my ute is cammed etc,at this point im thinking a yank ss3200 or a circle d 3000

i have a yank3200...

It isn't crazy but it also isn't tight like stock...More gas needs to be giving on takeoff and all the regular things that come along with a Higher Stall converter.

We carry Vigilante and have had good reports on them. If you keep it around 2800 RPM you won't feel that much of a differance in daily driving. Any thing above that will clearly be more noticeable but it all depends on what you can live with. Sounds like a 2800rpms is a good match fo you.

Anyone know what stock stall is?

**shane** · 10-21-2011, 03:51 PM

The highest mine would flash was 1300 STOCK

OK. I have wanted to ask but didn't want to ask, if you know what I mean. How does a high stall convertor work? It has been recommended that I get one, maybe ever over a Camaro differential, but don't know enough about them to decide.

I think this fits in line with the OP's intentions...

a standard stall is 1800 rpm i believe.the stall converter is like an auto clutch ,it will let the engine rev up to a certain rpm before appling drive,thats why you read 4000 rpm stall etc ,if you stand on the accelerater it lets the engine rev straight to 4000 rpm and then applies drive,if that makes sense.
i want a tight converter that feels like stock when normal driving no slippage and then flair straight to 3000 rpm when i stand on it.if that is possible

Just like manual transmission cars, cars with automatic transmissions need a way to let the engine turn while the wheels and gears in the transmission come to a stop. Manual transmission cars use a clutch, which completely disconnects the engine from the transmission. Automatic transmission cars use a torque converter.

A torque converter is a type of fluid coupling, which allows the engine to spin somewhat independently of the transmission. If the engine is turning slowly, such as when the car is idling at a stoplight, the amount of torque passed through the torque converter is very small, so keeping the car still requires only a light pressure on the brake pedal.

If you were to step on the gas pedal while the car is stopped, you would have to press harder on the brake to keep the car from moving. This is because when you step on the gas, the engine speeds up and pumps more fluid into the torque converter, causing more torque to be transmitted to the wheels.

There is a basic idea of how they work. Changing the correct parts will allow you to increase engine speed while still holding the car still with the brake (stalling it up).
