I recently put in a 2200-2400 stall converter in and after making a few 1/4 mile passes the car barely moves at idle. Before the track I could drive normal and almost not notice the higher stall. Now it must be at 2K or higher to get it to move faster than it does at idle. Is this normal?
When you start the car it is at ambient temp and thicker than it is when it reaches operating temperature thus the converter "feels" tighter when the fluid is cold.
I drove the car this morning...It was starting in 3rd gear, it was just slipping to 2K which made it feel like the converter. At the track I shift it manualy and works fine that way. Put 1/2 a quart of AT fluid in it and it works fine now.
