Quick question that's bothering me...
 
I read everyone wanting to put a still convertor on their trucks...

I'm not very smart with automatic transmissions, but is this something you can only put on auto's?

Or can manuals have them, as well?

...I know how mine works?

Frenchy Aug 10, 2009 12:09 AM

Although, I didn't know that with no torque converter, I didn't need a trans cooler...

Are you referring to a stall converter? If so, this is just a misused name for a torque converter with a higher than factory stall rating. Torque converters are only found on automatics (does the same job as the clutch in a manual). The stall rating is basically the rpm that the torque converter can safely be ran up to without the vehicle moving.

That is why mine is flashed @ 4000 rpm.

No Frenchy, you have a clutch and fly wheel assembly vice a torque converter. The answer to your question is No, you do not have a torque converter.

Ohhhhhhhh...... ya stall, not still... haha

Got ya... thanks dude...

But if it does the same thing as a clutch...

...if, let's say, you have a 2700rpms stall converter, and I have my clutch in, revving to 2700rpms, and I let out the clutch, it'll burn the clutch, unless I dump it, where then, I'll just spin... so therefore, a stall converter is better for higher rpm launches?

Correct?
