So yeah, I didn't think it was possible to stall an automatic, but as I found out today, with a torque convertor it's possible, lol. I was backing out of my friend's driveway and just barely gassing it over and over a little, the RPM's go up, then way down to like 200 again, then surge a lil, and if I do it a few times, baam it dies! This isn't bad for the car or anything is it? My friend realized his Yank will stall it as well. We were having a contest to see who could make it stall the most times backing out of his driveway earlier, ehhehehe.

 

i have never heard of anything like that

 

Yeah, in reverse when you go real slow w/ barely any gas it shudders a bit, and as I stated above, sometimes dies if you don't do it right. It shudders a lil if you barely gas it goin forward as well, but I haven't been able to kill it goin fordward. At first I was worried that my TC was f*cked, but then when I was at my friend's, we were playin w/ his and it's the same.

 

are u purposely trying to stall it????

experiment???

 

Well, since I got the thing put in I could notice at only a tiny bit of gas the rpm's often drop like it's going to die, but it never did. Then last night I was backing out of the guy's driveway goin to Krogers and it died, I was like woooo! Lol. Then he tried messin w/ his, and it did it, then the contest came on! We tied though :-/

The convertor works fine though, catches nice, when you stomp it, it goes I just gotta be careful I'm not backing out of a parking space infront of some nice girls and it dies and they think I'm an idiot who can't drive a manual!

 

lmao

at least the torque converter is payin off
