DynoJet
To me the most definitive way of checking the stall speed of a convertor is to run the car on a DynoJet. I disconnect the dentent linkage from the tranny so as to prevent down shifts. Then at 1500-2000 rpm on the rollers in 3rd gear I nail the throttle to red line.
Since the beginning rpm is below the stall speed one sees torque multiplication on the torque curve untill stall. There is a distinct point on the graph at the point of stall or coupling of the convertor. I'm going to try to attatch a dyno torque curve that illustrates what I mean.
They won't let me attatch it since I did attatch it it in an earlier post. Look in the thread "REV! What did you do?" to see that DynoJet torque curve attatchment.
