Can someone explain to me how stall affects part throtlle shifting? I have a rebuilt THM-375 with 1500 stall converter.
I am a total tranny newby so don't know much about them. (other than what I read on the internet and the tranny manual I bought)
I have a 1500 stall in my tranny and I am told I should have a 2500 as my engine power band is 2500-6500 based on the cam profile.
Now, when I drive today I am typically cruising at around 2200 rpm at 60mph in 3rd gear.
So, would putting a 2500 in not cause me to drive with tranny slippage (since I'm never above 2500) thereby causing excessive heat and wear? or is that not how it works?
To carry this further, my shift points are currently really low (i.e. I shift 2-3 at 3500 rpm, thereby not really getting into the powerband of the engine) so would the 2500 help that or do I need to look into changing the gorvernor weights.
Thank You for any assistance.
