A Torque converter is the ATX's version of a Clutch.

lol...ya it's basically a clutch, transfers power from the engine to the transmission. Basically there's a couple turbines in there, one spins (engine side) and shoots tranny fluid at the other turbine (tranny side) and makes it spin...all which happens in the blink of an eye.

Re: Atx converter
Lol sory about the worthless response it was late and I thought it was funny. I think the high performace ones are refered to high stall torque converters and I think they just let you build up more than about 2500 RPMs when brake boosting (at least thats where the 4Runner maxes out).

just swap in a manual j/k

this company is probably one of the best suppliers of performance high stall torque converters...their prices arent too bad either but im sure you can find something alot cheaper. http://www.protorque.com/shopping/sh...cat=Mitsubishi

what can you stall your car at now??? i would NOT recommend a high stall TC if you are basically stock because you will not see gains...it will probably just make you spin more without the proper means to get the power to the ground.

Re: Atx converter
Yea high stall would be real bad for a FWD on street tires lol, it would work real well with 4WD in the 4Runner heh.

Why would you want a manual? An auto is better for drags. And with a high stall, and shift kit....
