Bruce, I have a very basic understanding on how an automatic trans works. I understand that the converter is a fluid coupler and has slippage in it when not locked. I thought as you raise the stall, slippage went up (at lower rpm) and caused extra heat that is detrimental to the transmission. I also understand that you can have a higher stall but still have a "tight" converter/less slippage or "loose" and more slippage. Is it friction from the bands that causes the extra heat or the converter?
