because most people have horribly mechanical luck with the auto tranny FDs come with.
there you go, the end. most people blow them up one after the other.
and ******* FYI, a 3000 STALL does NOT mean that the tranny doesn't see torque till 3k. same for any other stall speed. jesus, ******* newbs, welcome to how torque converters work.

Always, before you go flapping your lips about how something works make sure you know what you are talking about. RXASSASIN7, I recommend you start being a bit more careful with your posts before nobody on here takes you seriously any more. Would be a shame for you to lose such a valuable source of info.

thaks for blowing it for me guys I could really use the dough! Do you even own an rx7? Look on page K-11 in the 1994 FSM. Stock stall is listed as 3000-3300 rpm. You can also look in the yamaguchi book on page 88, where it is listed as 3000. I wish I had the time and energy to scan it and spoon feed it to ya, but I 've wasted enough time already.

So what iam wondering is would the 4.10's or 4.30's (whatever) have a better or worse effect on top end??? btw if I change gears wtf can I use adjust the speedo?

no no what I mean is would it effect your acceleration lets say from ohhh..... 120-160 or so. I dont really care about my top TOP speed its my acceleration at high speeds that I care about.

a) all rx7's have factory stall @ 2200rpm
b)if you dont know that you need to call Dacco and ask for the stall speed on a FM68 that is your torque converter code (fyi)
c)why don't you stop reading books and mags like a little ***** and work on them then you would know the converter code moron... newbie my *** ... wheres my money bitch ?????????
d)the stall has to do with how much fluid it takes to fill the converter and apply the impeller fans in order to boost the torque capacity of the transmission.
f)if you slam the gas to the floor you would not see full torque cap. until 3000rpm, which means as same as riding the clutch and dumping it at 3000rpms
god if im the newbie what the hell are you?
what good is resources on here when they are incorrect? why am i the *** hole for disagreeing and fighting the conversation for truth?

Shame on you, dueling with an unarmed man. lmao.
Thanks for your post with this link - good info http://www.scuderiaciriani.com/rx7/differential.html
im really pleased with the 5% performance difference ive gotten from my recent switch from 3.9 to 4.1, but i not surprised after checking the comparative ratios and doing some math.
heres the bottom line: any way one chooses to perceive it, the FD in good running condition and in its many shapes, forms, and configurations, is one of the most exhilarating, kick in the ***, fun cars to drive, not to mention its beautifully sculpted appearance.
cant wait to hear you say: touche' en gard! ...............

first you said that it wont see ANY torque till stall speed, now you are saying this ****? make up your mind, are you totally completely wrong, or just wrong a little bit?
i can't believe you don't know what the Yamaguchi book is.

A transbrake is a modified valve body that allows simultaneously engaging 1st and reverse while the button is depressed so that the output shaft does not spin. This puts load on the engine so that you can build higher rpm/boost on the line without pulling against the brakes. When the button is released, reverse disengages immediately and the car launches extremely hard as power is suddenly applied to the output shaft. Transbrakes are not a universal device that works on any transmission like a line-lock for brakes.

First of all there's only one impeller, not 2 or more as you seem to think. The torque converter has an impeller, stator, and turbine. Furthermore "stall" is when both impeller and turbine are spinning at nearly the same rate (the impeller will always be spinning slightly faster than the turbine, hence the poor mileage charactistics of the average automatic transmission). IIRC, technically "stall" is a condition when the stator begins freewheeling and no longer applies torque multiplication to the turbine.

No car comes from the factory built specifically for quarter mile use, but they can all be run at the drag strip just the same. The FD included.
