Quote: I don't know a heck of a lot about automatics but I always thought that running a high stall converter below that stall speed for long periods of time makes some major heat but I guess a really big cooler would take care of that. For example, a car with 2.76 rear gear with a 3500 stall converter would be way below 3500 rpm at highway speeds and would put some serious heat into the trans fluid.
Quote: You can easily cruise under the stall speed. There is not much load on stall at 55 mph.
Exactly.......
The converter only stalls that high at wide open throttle.........so it's not a biggie, unless you've got a cheap converter......
