Questions for anyone who installed a higher speed torque converter:
What's normal drivability like?
What's best street stall speed with 3.73's but that will also help with racing?
What's involved in installation? And/or cost of installation?
Is anything else, besides the converter, needed to do the swap?
What kind of performance difference is there?!
Thanks!

Stall speed - Its based more on your motor rather than your gear, for the street ideal is in the 2800-3500 stall speed.
Installation - Nothing special just the same as a regular torque convertor (always fill the convertor before hookin it up to the flexplate)
Performance - Its a great improvement over the stock one, it allows the trans to "slip" a little bit until it gets to a higher torque range, therefore you can get better launches and your car wont bog down in the low RPM's.

Auto Transmission question.
Already searched the forum and could not find an answer.
Ford advertises it as a 5-speed Automatic. From what i have found out about the transmission online, it seems to be a four speed transmission+OD.
(with the OD being the 5th gear).
So my question: Is the AutoTrans in the 05-06 Mustang?:
4-speed + OD
or
5-speed + OD
P.S. New to the forum, just bought a Legend Lime V6 + Pony Package on Friday. Extremely Happy

RE: Transmissions: Manual & Auto Tech
I have a question, are a stall converter and a torque converter the same thing? I have an auto gt with a diablo tune, I've been looking for a torque converter, but have no luck finding one online. Does anyone know where to get one? Also, the reason i was asking about the stall converter is, i want to get comp cams at https://www.rpmoutlet.com/musv8compcam.htm but for the stage III that i want they say i need at least a 2400+ stall converter and 3.73 gears. I have the 3.73 gears, but i have no clue what a stall converter is.
