It's not a stall. It's a torque converter with a rated stall speed, commonly reffered to as a converter.

I keep seeing someone saying I'm getting a new 'stall' and I just cringe.

Nothing personal meant by this to anyone, just trying to educate the masses.

Please tell me she didn't call it a 'stall'. That would be funny though if she did.

no it's a stall. you could call it a torque converter with a higher than stock stall speed, but you probably have **** to do.

Im pretty sure most know this, I think its just short to state it as a "stall". Alot easier than saying the whole thing.

LOL! I have whined about this very same thing but most people are content with the perptuation of ignorance! There are so many things that irritate me too!

Looking for a new stall? Take your PICK

How about some specs on the M6

Perhaps some information on A4's

When you're out to win, the A4 can mean the difference between SINK or SWIM.

And what about a reminder that this is a bulletin board not some prepubescent IRC chat channel!

Single letter slang is not an acceptible substitute for a word:

"B" is not "be"
"C" is not "see"
"Q" is not "question"
"R" is not "are" or "our"
"U" is not "you"
"Y" is not "why"

Additional letter(s) added does not make it less incorrect:
"ur" is not "your" or "you're"
"qs" or "q's" is not "questions"

Other Abbreviations make no sense:
"b4" is not "before"
"gr8" is not "great"
"str8" is not "straight"
"cuz" is not "because"
"ne" is not "any"
"prolly" is not "probably"
"lil" is not "little"
"congrats" admit that you've forgotten how to spell "congratulations"

Some terms are not real words at all:
"hella" is not a word!



Thank YOU for opening the door for ME to vent!

Well like far out James B. but I don't think you can dig it. LOL
That's how we used to talk back in the day but we didn't have computers then so all we could do was say it.
I got a new stall once but the horse drowned when he got stuck in the mud after somebody tried to ride him across a pond and I never got to use it.
