it is a lockup convertor. i tell it when to lockup. they are not variable stall though.

hank, after driving the car around quite a bit. have noticed a few things about the convertor i have.

taking off at wide open is great. engine rpms pop right up, performance is better.

taking off at part throttle feels weird. engine goes right to about 2k rpm and stays there while car slowly accellerates. it is like it slides thru the gears. i do not like that. if anyone has driven a forklift around and noticed how the engine revs and the machine does not move quickly will know what i mean. maybe my convertor has a higher stall. but it sure feels slippery at low throttle take offs. when the lockup hits then all is ok. for the person in town though i feel the trans would get real hot. tom
