I just finished another 700 for a 72 Chevelle with a 383 also. He has a 2500 stall in it. Runs strong. Also it chirps the tires in in 2nd and 3rd. Many people swear the 700 is junk but I have several running in hot rods with no problems. Usually when they have trouble I find the TV cable geometry is off. My cousin had a Firebird back in the day. Will check out your channel. Thanks.
I'd recommend you fluid dynamics as an area of study in general. It's quite an interesting area and it does change the way you look at and thing about certain things.
I've had trouble in the past with the E4N71B Jatco 4 speed which was bolted behind a Nissan RB30 (it was in a VL Commodore which GM Holden fitted in 1988 before moving the the Buick LN3 V6 engine coupled to the TH700R transmission later that year) where we got the whole transmission rebuilt & it started vibrating when shifting into overdrive,the transmission specialist just told us not to worry about it ,it could be a sticking valve in the valve body which may be causing it. After a while, it just kept on slipping under load at 70 km/h when it went into overdrive & upon acceleration at say 100 km/h. We got another torque converter fitted under warranty & it went good for a while then it started doing the same thing again,it got to the point I ripped it out & threw a 5 speed manual transmission in & it went better (the manual cars perform better). I think it was more to do with who was rebuilding the torque converters as I'd say the lockup clutch was slipping under load as it is supposed to provide a solid drive to the overdrive planetary gear set. I think a company in Newcastle (Australia) rebuilds the torque converters, so I'm not sure what they did wrong. The turbocharged models have a non lockup setup which is probably better than that setup, we may as well have chased one of them up & bolted it in,then again,we'd need the trans control ECU to suit the non lockup E4N71B unit !!!!
Custom built 10" converter by Camdup Racing in MO they did the transmission also. I only have like 150 miles on it. The stator in the TCI was interesting. One side on the OD had a bunch of spider web cracks in it with half the outside edges broken off. The other side of the OD there was a circular scar with a small area that didn't have a scar. That small area measured a low spot like almost a dent.
I think now they are building them without a stator. I think they are only available in very high stall strictly race units. I must admit their quality control has gotten better. I am running about the same horse as you in my bracket car and it has an aluminum stator. I am really surprised yours failed. They are usually good (stators) for 800+ HP. What brand are you running now? Mine is an ATI 3 seasons and still working. 3500 stall in mine.
@ReddmanDGZ in some cases you can overwelm the converters ability to dissapate heat...such as excessive use at High RPM's which may also cause the converters housing to baloon and in some cases rupture.....the Fluid Flow in the convertor is what causes heat. and the Heat if Hot enough can damage the Seals causing the converter to leak the transmission fluid.
It's also a maintenance reducing thing - the fluid clutch doesn't have a pressure plate to wear down, so it doesn't need to be replaced as often (if at all) in the service life of the car/bus/SUV. The downside - the transmission itself requires more maintenance, which can be much more expensive than swapping a worn down clutch.
@BuickDoc Ok, I was asking about the Imperial gallons, but I see you included that here, thanks. 8 gallons would be 72 pints, of course, but are those US pints, or European 1/2 liters? I like to be 100% clear on things.
This clutch is basically a compressor-turbine operation. Somewhat like the turbo, but more similar to a jet engine in some ways. In order to work properly, it requires a very highly viscous fluid, so that you're not wasting your time spinning it against air. Just air would also work, but you need to spin it much faster for it to do something if it's just air. It needs to be kept cool, as increasing the temperature would decrease viscosity, thereby decreasing efficiency of power transfer.
They may use automatics, but not in the same sense as cars. There are no torque converters like this video is about, and they're also not planetary gear based like car automatics are. Big trucks actually just use computer controlled manual transmissions. And for the record, they're not perfect - they have their benefits, but I still prefer to shift myself. Much easier when parking/docking and general low speed maneuvers. Auto's are great in city traffic, though...
In Europe the automatic transmission was long time rarely use in EU because the high consumption and cost, and the common driving license are take on a manual transmission car. But now, whe use more and mode double clutch automatic transmissions, and all the converter automatic transmission use in addition a clutch to switch the converter to impove the efficiency (reduce the consumption). Myself use at work a car with manual, but the personal with automatic, without any adaptation problems...
@y9pema You know its not hard to convert a automatic to manual (even easier on older models). You just gotta match up the bellhousing and install a cable shifter or cut a hole in the floor for the stick
@BuickDoc Furkin'? isn't that the Australians say when they hit their thumb with the hammers? Tonnes usually the metric, 1,000 kilos, or about 2,200 pounds.
another name for torque conveter?? never heard of it before... does normal cars come with one? cause at the begining i thought if was some sort of clutch
Sorry to be off topic but does any of you know of a method to get back into an Instagram account?? I was dumb lost my account password. I would love any tips you can offer me!
@Cain Gianni i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm in the hacking process now. I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
@justinth3geek Ya i found that funny. Most i know just pull the damn retractable switch out of those things so they can stack without binding up like that.
I was surprised there was an aluminum stator in the converter. In the video it talks about having steel stators in their converters. Unless I heard them wrong. Wouldn't have bought it if I knew it had an aluminum stator. Anyway my car produces 380 crank HP. I'm not surprised something broke eventually but the TCI really should have lasted more than 488 miles with only one 1/4 mile pass with a shift point of 5200. The failure pattern is very interesting on the stator should've took a picture.
The majority of drag race failures are converter related. Can't tell you how many TCI converters I have seen in little bits as you put it. However giving TCI the benefit of the doubt it seems to be hard to find a converter that will stay together in the world of drag racing.
@jaska444 I agree with you. I think the script writer got it wrong. I bet it was supposed to be 0.3 g. Otherwise, if you put that on a 3000 HP engine, it would blow up. This brand is known to be excellent in racing, so I think it was a mistake, unless there is an internal compensation that is facilitated when the TC is filled with fluid and rotated.
@Robonza Yes, many of us are multilingual. I speak inches, mm, F, C, tons, barrels. I am a little weak on bushels, tonnes, furkins (look it up) and kegs. I am not conversant in 'stone'.
Considering many of those auto trans ppl are commuters who have to spend an hour on the road just to get to work each day, that is a highly ignorant statement to make. If you live in a place like So. Ca. commuting through the LA area is almost unavoidable. You can only take so many 5mph traffic jams in cloudless summer weather before it breaks your loyalty to manual transmissions (and dark paint jobs).
Fill it with mercury, spin it real fast, ad an electric charge and you have anti gravity. It is a mercury vortex engine. I would have enjoyed seeing some machining, casting and all the rest of the fun stuff.
Generally, the only reason to change the fluid is if it gets contaminated. If this fluid clutch is designed well - there won't be any metal shavings entering the fluid, so there won't be contamination to necessitate replacement. I may be wrong, but that's my hypothesis.
If you sprain an ankle or injure your arm, perhaps an automatic transmission is best. But if you hit a semi, offset-frontal style, you'd wish you were driving a high tensile steel door stop.
This is what any economy needs to be based on, engineering knowhow paired with manufacturing knowhow. Just see Germany, they didnt make the switch to banking like america and many other now-failed economies. They kept it simple. keep the manufacturing local, keep the engineers local and that creates millions and millions of different jobs, not only highly educated jobs, but also "normal" jobs. That way, everyone is happy.
I Believe the stator only rotates once Impeller and Turbine reach equal speeds. Before that it is stationary and provides the torque multiplication(mainly when the Impeller is stalled)
Actually, no. I work for a company that remanufacturers transmissions. At the time I posted that, I had just started and didn't know a thing about transmissions or torque converters. The stator can rotate freely when the torque converted is removed from the transmission, but the shaft coming from the transmission holds it in place once installed. The stator never rotates during operation.
+Mark Speir The stator has an inner race held by the transmission stator support. It has a sprag, roller clutch, or diode that allows it to turn only one direction. There are many videos on here if you've never had a torque converter apart and need to see how everything works.
maglight2006 When I posted this, I had just started working for a company that remanufactures transmissions. Once I gained a complete understanding of the parts of an automatic transmission, it made sense.
@@0PureEvil0 Correct. Only when there is a speed difference between impeller and turbine, and when they are starting to match (they will never match fully without lockup), the stator starts to turn to prevent losses. It's a one way clutch. If you remove the stator, you don't get torque multiplication and the torque converter becomes just a fluid coupling.
No I mean the hydraulic fluid inside the torque converter. And the tranny fluid needs to be replaced around every 50.000 km if I'm not wrong. Thats what my car needs though!
Actually, it is a tossup, auto vs manual. Automatic transmissions that are serviced on a regular basis will outlast a manual. The weak spot in a manual is the clutch, between the throw out bearing and the actual friction surface we have parts that will fail. An automatic transmission has a torque converter that simply sloshes fluid around. Manuals come with gears that ride in grease and have a finger assembly. Autos have planetary gears that ride in fluid and never disengage.
For questions like this your best option is to contact the TCI TRANS HELP line at 1.888.776.9824. The techs will be happy to talk about your overall setup and will let you know the best drivetrain options for your application. Thank you.
If you're going to get into racing transmissions, thats a different story, i have both, manual in my jeep and auto in my truck, I hate that my truck decides what gear it wants to be in and when it wants to lock up. If you happen to have a car with less power, an auto will try and downshift more which can be extremely annoying. (then randomly upshift and back down again)
For anyone watching this these days, Whatever stall speed they are checking is the stall speed for THEIR equipment.. If you order a 3000 rom stall converter from them, I'll damn sure guarantee you it will NOT stall at 3000 rpm.. Unless you have the exact configuration they are using. You need ALOOOT of very specific data from the car and the driver in order to get a converter built to your exact desired stall speed. But that's all fine anyway.. next year, you'll never have to worry about stall speed again, as you will be able to dial it in on the fly at any time, at any RPM, at any level.. Yup.. I said it.. You are welcome to hold me to it. Just give me the next year to finish what I've started and get the rest of our testing finished. This will change everything.
Ok, if you watch the 300 mph Top fuel dragsters, they do a burn out, then magically go backwards. They have multi clutches in the driveline that transmitts power to the rear wheels and can go in reverse. Wouldn't you call that a transmission? People derive auto and manual loosely, but mostly its torque converter auto, clutch operated manual.
Since the video is about torque converters i'm guessing he/she is referring to the automatic transmission fluid. Problem is that i don't know if he/she is being serious, because anyone that knows about cars knows that every fluid in a vehicle is changed at some point in its lifetime.
if you want it with a manuel transmision it can be converted im sure it just depends on what you want to use it for and how much money you want to spend if you really want it but cant do it yourself im sure someone has or can do it for you and again price would depend on if you wanted all new parts or could live with salvaged parts from a wrecking yard of coarse you might have to have some things made to make everything fit properly but it is possible
Well, we in Italy have the reversed problem. On most city and middle-sized cars no auto option so either you put up with the hideous jerkbox or spend a lot more on an upmarket model.
Well 2 years later I adapted the American style, automatic, V-8 gasoline guzzler, the lower fuel economy the richer you show other people. No more Tacomas. I'll drive a V-8 Nissan truck or Ford truck.
Most models of vehicles in the United States of America have a manual counterpart. You want a manual, you can get one. It's more of a tedium issue, driving a manual, in comparison to driving an automatic. It depends how 'into' driving you are. If you operate a motor vehicle with the sole purpose of getting from Point-A to Point-B and nothing else, why would you want a manual? Enthusiasts will choose a manual, because they drive partly (or fully) for the experience of driving.
Have been thinking about to make a turbine engine with a use high performance Torque Converter..but I don't think they would want the publicity!! and a hill billy like me getting his hands on one of their T C...
It is Germany's 2 year apprenticeship union program that keeps them employed. No job is 'normal' they all require training and effort to be done properly and efficiently.
Also, let's not forget: it was YOU who considered manual transmission to be more work by accusing people who preferred automatic to be "lazy." You said it yourself, lol.
THE INTRO IS BAD!!!! 01:15 THE TURBINE IS CONNECTED TO THE OUTPUT!!!!! (Transmission) it is closer to the motor, but it is rotating the axis of the transmission!!!!!!! the impeller is rotated by the motor and it rotates the oil pump in the transmission, but it is the INPUT side mechanically (while it is nearer to the transmission...)
All you manual lovers can go and hate... You can't beat the good old TH350 for $2200.00 You get a complete trans with converter that can handle 1000hp try finding an aftermarket manual for the same price you will spend over 5k.
I just like manual because it's fun and I like being an active part of the gear shifting. I'd also take a manual with limited slips in the snow over an auto every day. Unless I'm driving a truck. Trucks can all be auto for all I care.
TPV Productions I like manual because theres only one wire and no cooling lines. And I never have to worry about a ring gear failing In the middle of nowhere.
Delve Spectrum Yeah that's one of the unspoken things about driving a manual transmission car: You are almost guaranteed, because of the engineering factor, that if you're not a complete idiot rowing the gears that the transaxle is the one thing you're never going to have to do anything other than change the gearbox oil. Again, I'm not saying that it's impossible to have problems but I've owned several manual gearboxed cars in this life and that's the one part that will last the lifetime of the car, even with hundreds of thousands on the odo. Everything else will go in time, but not the gearbox so you avoid those wonderful "I'm going to need 2500 bucks to fix this.." calls from your mechanic due to some seal or journal or some of the other thousand little bits in the auto trans going.
Supply and demand. And this not true 5K?? LOL! If your Auto goes bad the cost is so high. Long term- manual cost is lower. Clutches in an Auto- 2000.00. Clutch in a manual which is easy to change - maybe 1000.00. and is an easy DIY then for a lot less. Have some experience then pop off. Can you change a spark plug?? Just saying.
Interesting. Sounds like you just got a bad one. Or your luck is like mine SORRY as hell. LOL!! Seriously though if I had to guess I would say that stator was bad from day one and just got by the inspection process. But it is things like this that leave a sour taste in our mouths about certain products. What tranny are you running? I am running a 400 turbo in a 78 Malibu. Drag only not street legal. Anyway check out my videos. Got 3 on 700R4 high performance modifications.
10 grams? That seems like too much still. That's more than a quarter ounce. I've seen lazy stoners balance tires better than that and they turn less rpms that the engine, are cheaper and easier to get at to correct balance if needed, and less critical from a cost standpoint. I'm no engineer but that seems rather excessive for street applications, not to mention something turning 8k rpms.
I would never buy a "oldschool" automatic car. Manual is what us finns are used and if, if some automatic it would be something like VW DSG where is no torq converter, only real clutch's. But there is a BUT. some 70's USA car here, they run automatic, it kind a belongs with those. But they are rare...
Not sure why people keep bitching about auto transmissions. Most people don't know how to properly drive them.... Get yourself a CDL and commercial truck then we will see how you like it?
Sorry to burst your bubble, but I have driven manual transmissions. Of course you get used to it, that's how life works: you get used to things you do on a regular basis; still doesn't counter my point that it's more work than required to drive an automatic.
Yes its good and all But... It also keeps the door open for the most incompetent people out there when it comes to operating machinery. Which is a self declaration that it is your intent to have incompetent people use such said product.
Not everybody wants to put in as much work as you want to when it comes to driving. It has little to do with being lazy. I prefer a calculator over manually doing calculations when doing my calculus homework. Don't see how that makes me lazy.
LOLOL no they don't. Top fuel doesn't even use a transmission. Just clutches. Shows how much you know. Google it you can find numerous articles and dagrams.
You clearly have never driven a manual transmission before. It isn't any more work at all, you don't even think about it once you get used to it after a few drives. That calculator analogy is wayyy off.
i wish that was true, when i bought my truck a manual wasn't even an option, i would have gotten one if i could, and im not touching ram, just don't feel like rebuilding the front end all the time.
For people intelligent enough not to waste time and effort to manouver a stupid stick and a tiresome clutch 1000 times in a hour, especially in queues.

So how much force or newton or whatever that is to turn the whole vehicle using the torque converter?

does that fluid actually needs to be replaced after a certain time?
i hate Automatic transmissions but they are working very good and we can't ignore it .

is this like a hydraulic clutch?
ขอบคุณครับ นำไปเป็นสื่อการเรียนได้
the fluid in side the converter?
nice, i saw this everydays in my company, it's use into auto transmission of almost japan cars...
@BuickDoc Furkin'? isn't that the Australians say when they hit their thumb with the hammers? Tonnes usually the metric, 1,000 kilos, or about 2,200 pounds.
No mention of the lock-in lock-out converter clutch?
another name for torque conveter?? never heard of it before... does normal cars come with one? cause at the begining i thought if was some sort of clutch
@gambinoarmy Like my 77 Dodge Power wagon with 4X4, auto-tranny and 440, just pop that tranny and transfer case out?
The fluid in the t-converter is shared with the fluid in the transmission. Its all ATF.
Sorry to be off topic but does any of you know of a method to get back into an Instagram account??
I was dumb lost my account password. I would love any tips you can offer me!

Thanks so much, you saved my account :D
@Davion Cullen Happy to help :D
I'd love to see some data on the heat-dissipating coating. Seems to me the metal in the converter itself would do a fine job of that on its own.
Just a gimmick they use.. it's simply a metallic paint.. And yes I know this is pretty old..
Its a disappearing rust coating to make an old used converter look new
Why do some Tci converters have a glossy durable powder coat finish and others just a spray paint finish?
Lovely
If you want to see a tci converter opened up i just came from a video where 1 grenaded after 3 hours..... nice.
sounds like you punched it maybe?
@y9pema best vehicle anti-theft in US? Manual transmission

Exact tolerances? Pick one and get on with it!
@memadmax69 I 2nd...and 3rd and 4rth and overdrive that!
if you mean automatic gearbox fluid they say you dont have to but after i think 200000 km it will like some fresh oil it will make it last longer
If I had to guess, it's when you mention the word "fluid" at 1:14.
In the UK fuel is very expensive, about $7.80 per gallon of unleaded and more for diesel, manuals are are a far more efficient way to drive.
This is what any economy needs to be based on, engineering knowhow paired with manufacturing knowhow.

@y9pema driving a manual trans-Its too Hard! Moving my foot and right hand while driving distracts me from my Ipod and cell phone.

Actually, it is a tossup, auto vs manual.
Automatic transmissions that are serviced on a regular basis will outlast a manual.
The weak spot in a manual is the clutch, between the throw out bearing and the actual friction surface we have parts that will fail.
An automatic transmission has a torque converter that simply sloshes fluid around.
Manuals come with gears that ride in grease and have a finger assembly.
Autos have planetary gears that ride in fluid and never disengage.
so you don't need an gearbox anymore?
Top Fuel 300 mph class use manual transmissions, and they are quickest down a track professionally.
For questions like this your best option is to contact the TCI TRANS HELP line at 1.888.776.9824. The techs will be happy to talk about your overall setup and will let you know the best drivetrain options for your application. Thank you.
If you're going to get into racing transmissions, thats a different story, i have both, manual in my jeep and auto in my truck, I hate that my truck decides what gear it wants to be in and when it wants to lock up. If you happen to have a car with less power, an auto will try and downshift more which can be extremely annoying. (then randomly upshift and back down again)
I wish Honda made a manual transmission for the MDX.
My trans just when out 🥲
For anyone watching this these days, Whatever stall speed they are checking is the stall speed for THEIR equipment.. If you order a 3000 rom stall converter from them, I'll damn sure guarantee you it will NOT stall at 3000 rpm.. Unless you have the exact configuration they are using. You need ALOOOT of very specific data from the car and the driver in order to get a converter built to your exact desired stall speed. But that's all fine anyway.. next year, you'll never have to worry about stall speed again, as you will be able to dial it in on the fly at any time, at any RPM, at any level.. Yup.. I said it.. You are welcome to hold me to it. Just give me the next year to finish what I've started and get the rest of our testing finished. This will change everything.
Simple as sport cars manual, lux and everyday cars automatic
TCI needs to spend a weekend spraying the entire insides of the factory white - including all those old machines!
@y9pema you must be one of those guys that miss shifts and cries at the end of the race for a rematch
Ok, if you watch the 300 mph Top fuel dragsters, they do a burn out, then magically go backwards. They have multi clutches in the driveline that transmitts power to the rear wheels and can go in reverse. Wouldn't you call that a transmission? People derive auto and manual loosely, but mostly its torque converter auto, clutch operated manual.
some fluids never gets changed at all because the owner forgets about it and after 150,000 miles it can't be changed at all
Yes. take a Big block chevy 572, and a huge cam, turbo it and all that jazz and yes, you too could own steve morris's 3000 hp mustang. search it up
Since the video is about torque converters i'm guessing he/she is referring to the automatic transmission fluid. Problem is that i don't know if he/she is being serious, because anyone that knows about cars knows that every fluid in a vehicle is changed at some point in its lifetime.
mad flyer The truck type I wanted double cab 4cyl tacoma has no manual transmission. How sad.
Live with the slushbox or find something else I guess.
if you want it with a manuel transmision it can be converted im sure it just depends on what you want to use it for and how much money you want to spend if you really want it but cant do it yourself im sure someone has or can do it for you and again price would depend on if you wanted all new parts or could live with salvaged parts from a wrecking yard of coarse you might have to have some things made to make everything fit properly but it is possible
Well, we in Italy have the reversed problem. On most city and middle-sized cars no auto option so either you put up with the hideous jerkbox or spend a lot more on an upmarket model.
Well 2 years later I adapted the American style, automatic, V-8 gasoline guzzler, the lower fuel economy the richer you show other people.
No more Tacomas. I'll drive a V-8 Nissan truck or Ford truck.
Most models of vehicles in the United States of America have a manual counterpart. You want a manual, you can get one. It's more of a tedium issue, driving a manual, in comparison to driving an automatic. It depends how 'into' driving you are. If you operate a motor vehicle with the sole purpose of getting from Point-A to Point-B and nothing else, why would you want a manual? Enthusiasts will choose a manual, because they drive partly (or fully) for the experience of driving.
i wouldnt call lazy having old peterbilt and other trucks that had twin stick shift gearboxes.
Have been thinking about to make a turbine engine with a use high performance Torque Converter..but I don't think they would want the publicity!! and a hill billy like me getting his hands on one of their T C...
700R4 with 383 in a 88 Firebird street legal. You can check out my build on my channel. Oh and I already watched your videos on the 700R4
How Its Made: 01:00
It is Germany's 2 year apprenticeship union program that keeps them employed. No job is 'normal' they all require training and effort to be done properly and efficiently.
Also, let's not forget: it was YOU who considered manual transmission to be more work by accusing people who preferred automatic to be "lazy." You said it yourself, lol.
man i can drive with a broken leg did it at work before but did not go on the road
THE INTRO IS BAD!!!! 01:15
THE TURBINE IS CONNECTED TO THE OUTPUT!!!!! (Transmission) it is closer to the motor, but it is rotating the axis of the transmission!!!!!!!
the impeller is rotated by the motor and it rotates the oil pump in the transmission, but it is the INPUT side mechanically (while it is nearer to the transmission...)
+brandistocker Thats funny. You need to research how stuff works again or something.
How did i get here from watching Tori black?
All you manual lovers can go and hate... You can't beat the good old TH350 for $2200.00 You get a complete trans with converter that can handle 1000hp try finding an aftermarket manual for the same price you will spend over 5k.
I just like manual because it's fun and I like being an active part of the gear shifting.
I'd also take a manual with limited slips in the snow over an auto every day.
Unless I'm driving a truck. Trucks can all be auto for all I care.
Then get a manual valve body same thing but no clutch.
TPV Productions I like manual because theres only one wire and no cooling lines. And I never have to worry about a ring gear failing In the middle of nowhere.
Delve Spectrum Yeah that's one of the unspoken things about driving a manual transmission car: You are almost guaranteed, because of the engineering factor, that if you're not a complete idiot rowing the gears that the transaxle is the one thing you're never going to have to do anything other than change the gearbox oil. Again, I'm not saying that it's impossible to have problems but I've owned several manual gearboxed cars in this life and that's the one part that will last the lifetime of the car, even with hundreds of thousands on the odo.
Everything else will go in time, but not the gearbox so you avoid those wonderful "I'm going to need 2500 bucks to fix this.." calls from your mechanic due to some seal or journal or some of the other thousand little bits in the auto trans going.
Supply and demand. And this not true 5K?? LOL! If your Auto goes bad the cost is so high. Long term- manual cost is lower. Clutches in an Auto- 2000.00. Clutch in a manual which is easy to change - maybe 1000.00. and is an easy DIY then for a lot less. Have some experience then pop off. Can you change a spark plug?? Just saying.
Got that exact laptop myself.. Those two USB ports are useless, nothing fits in there -.-
Interesting. Sounds like you just got a bad one. Or your luck is like mine SORRY as hell. LOL!! Seriously though if I had to guess I would say that stator was bad from day one and just got by the inspection process. But it is things like this that leave a sour taste in our mouths about certain products. What tranny are you running? I am running a 400 turbo in a 78 Malibu. Drag only not street legal. Anyway check out my videos. Got 3 on 700R4 high performance modifications.
10 grams? That seems like too much still. That's more than a quarter ounce. I've seen lazy stoners balance tires better than that and they turn less rpms that the engine, are cheaper and easier to get at to correct balance if needed, and less critical from a cost standpoint. I'm no engineer but that seems rather excessive for street applications, not to mention something turning 8k rpms.
autodesk inventor everybody
I would never buy a "oldschool" automatic car. Manual is what us finns are used and if, if some automatic it would be something like VW DSG where is no torq converter, only real clutch's.
But there is a BUT. some 70's USA car here, they run automatic, it kind a belongs with those. But they are rare...
torque converter? i prefer a clutch
Not sure why people keep bitching about auto transmissions. Most people don't know how to properly drive them.... Get yourself a CDL and commercial truck then we will see how you like it?
Sorry to burst your bubble, but I have driven manual transmissions. Of course you get used to it, that's how life works: you get used to things you do on a regular basis; still doesn't counter my point that it's more work than required to drive an automatic.
anybody knotice he said 3000+ hp LOL
Some drag cars are 13 thousand horsepower
Yes its good and all But... It also keeps the door open for the most incompetent people out there when it comes to operating machinery. Which is a self declaration that it is your intent to have incompetent people use such said product.
Not everybody wants to put in as much work as you want to when it comes to driving. It has little to do with being lazy. I prefer a calculator over manually doing calculations when doing my calculus homework. Don't see how that makes me lazy.
10 grams for balancing???
Many quality car manufacturer has requirements 3 grams or less for their flywheels.
Not good....
Why do you say that?
LOLOL no they don't. Top fuel doesn't even use a transmission. Just clutches. Shows how much you know. Google it you can find numerous articles and dagrams.
@y9pema Speak for yourself......not everyone is lazy!
within 10grams!! fuckin junk!!
You clearly have never driven a manual transmission before. It isn't any more work at all, you don't even think about it once you get used to it after a few drives. That calculator analogy is wayyy off.
@y9pema Speak for yourself...
For people too lazy to shift your own gears.
i wish that was true, when i bought my truck a manual wasn't even an option, i would have gotten one if i could, and im not touching ram, just don't feel like rebuilding the front end all the time.
thats a very ignorant thing to say
haha not really, i worked in a shop fixing all makes, ram was the worst followed by gm with all the squeaks and rattles then ford
For people intelligent enough not to waste time and effort to manouver a stupid stick and a tiresome clutch 1000 times in a hour, especially in queues.
Gavichap actually, based on the expat americans i see here that cant drive a stick shift id say lack of intelegence dictates that people drive an auto
