Larry,
The way it was explained to me once was;
The stall speed is the point at which the engine can't turn any
faster when the accelerator is pushed all the way down while the
car is standing still brakes on and the transmission is in drive.
This is due to the sheer strength of the oil and
To be a bit more accurate, it's not horsepower dependent, really,
it's the slip ratio of the torque converter (which is a bit more
complicated than a fluid coupling). High slip results in torque
amplification.
Effectively it's a lower gear ratio.
Your comments of efficiency and fuel
Thanks MG for that extensive explanation! It'll take me a little time to
study it a bit. ;-)
Take care -

Nothing is really multiplied it is just that the engine is allowed to
produce more usable power...
I agree with your description, except for the above. Our 450 SL
had stripped splines on the stator shaft into the torque converter.
Thus, more of the TC guts could turn with the engine. How,
The simple answer is that oil circulates in a torque converter (or
any fluid coupling) --the pump side throws the oil into the turbine
side, where it impacts the blades and then swirls down and out the
hub side. The stator at the hub directs this flow back to the pump
blades.
The angle

What about the Chrysler, Dodge, Desoto Fluid Drive. I had 50 Dodge pickup
with the fluid drive. It was just a big sealed unit-fluid coupler-also had a
dry clutch in the drive line as well for shifting.

Lockup torque converters are great, by the way
Quite true. Current MB autos lock up in all gears. In the MB design, they
are slower to downshift which requires coming out of lockup and which takes
more throttle than you might like. Lots of complaints about this from 7-speed
owners
However if you put the same torque converter behind an engine
with more horsepower it will slip more before it reaches the
stall speed won't it? Conversely I believe a torque converter
with more slip as opposed to a converter with less slip on the
same engine will allow it to develop more
And unfortunately probably will still be waiting by this time
next year. But then again maybe not as stranger things have
happened. Don't give up the ship!

My take on it is that the oil comes out of the turbine going in
the direction opposite to the turning of the engine and that it
is the stator that causes the fluid to change direction in the
center of the converter so that it can be used again without
wasting engine power. If the splines are

Which all points out the fact that all the factors have to be taken into
account, choices and compromises made, and that there is no one right
answer, just different trade-offs.

If you've ever driven an old 220D with a four speed auto and fluid
coupling, you are familiar with the lack of torque at low speed.
Engine rpm will NOT rise above the stall speed of the coupling plus

spinning, and they
Don't know if there is more slip for more hp -- in fact, you cannot
develop hp, you can only use it.
Hp is work.

A 250C has a lot more low end torque that a 220D -- lot more hp, too,
since that version cranked out a grand 65 in new condition. Mine was
