Is a stall converter hard on a transmission?
With stall converters, the cool thing they offer is a ‘cush’ for parts such as the gears, U-joints, and axles. Due to the clutch ‘impact’ of manual transmissions, vehicles are hard on these things. However, stall converters are a gentler approach for these parts due to the ‘slip’ it provides.
How do I know what stall converter I need?
For mild performance cars with something like a 350 HP engine, a 2,200 – 2,400 stall is about right. The basic rule of thumb is; if your engine “comes alive” at say, 3,500 RPM, then you want a stall converter with about 3,500 of stall to it.

How do high stall converters work?
Faster cars usually use even higher stall speeds, especially in smaller cubic inch engines that don’t make the torque of big displacement engines. Also, the higher the stall speed, the more heat the converter will make, from hydraulic (fluid) friction inside the converter.
