stall speed on A/T

[00mongoose]

this is the first auto i owned since i learned how to drive and i have never heard of a stall speed on a TQ converter.

what is this and what does higher limit do for me?

To check the stall speed of an automatic, follow this simple procedure:
With the car in drive and at a complete stop, use your left foot to hold down the brake. Using your right foot, depress the accelerator. You will see the rpms rise. They will eventually stop rising, or "stall." This is your stall speed. The Celica's is about 2000 rpm.

To launch an automatic, you load up the TC using the method outlined above, only when you reach your stall speed, you quickly release the brake and floor the accelerator. This makes for a much quicker launch than simply flooring it. The higher your stall speed, the harder you launch and the quicker you get into the car's powerband.

I wouldn't recommend doing this very often, however. It greatly increases wear and causes the tranny to get very hot very fast. And bad things happen when your tranny gets too hot (read, it breaks).
