Stock torque converter?

1500-1800 stall for the stock ones


Are you serious??? My 95 AODE crapmobile has a 1800 stall.

I don't know anything about the locking stuff though, could you teach me a bit?
 
Could i get some confirmation on this? I've been given more than one number.

I'm wondering if i can expect it to be better than my N/A 95 Aode torque converter...
 
AOD's went into direct drive for 3rd and 4th gears.
The 95 aod/e converter is the same stall. They were built with the same parts. I gave you valid numbers.

If you haven't shifted your torque curve up with a cam or a lot of other parts you are pissing in the wind with a different converter. If your torque peak is lower than the stall of the convertor then you are wasting power. You use a higher stall convertor to get the engine closer to the torque peak. You do this if you lose torque on the low end due to shifting the power band higher.

As I recall the transmisson does the locking on the AOD on GM cars there is a friction plate (clutch) that is engaged by fluid pressure to lock the input and output of the torque convertor.

ok thanks.



(my peak torque is at 2,500 rpm with my 3.8... not sure what the 5.0 will be)
