Lextreme Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 Sorry, self delete my post. TC is like a cluth for an auto tranny. Stall speed is like rpm and engagement. For example, you drive a stick and you release your cluth at 1600 rpm. What happen? The car would more forward slowly. Now, you rev your motor up to 2800 rpm and drop the clutch, your car would jump off the line, right? Well, the TC acts like a clutch. Higher stall speed is like launching at higher speed in a stick tranny. That is why after market TC change to a higher stall speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SexyLexy92 Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 THIS COULD EXPLAIN THE PROBLEM WITH MY SC300! when accelerating, it is very slow. It almost drags. Almost like releasing a clutch to slow. So this could be my TC. My husband said that could be the problem. Would this cause the OD light on the instrument panel to blink? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
