hey guys, i need help here.....we were figuring crawl ratios, but we're stumped on the torque converter....

how do you figure the effective ratio of the torque convertor off-idle?

tranny: 3.06
tq. conv: ?
tcase: 2.72
gears: 3.42

Shorts <-- its not what you think...and don't ask what it is /wwwthreads_images/icons/smile.gif

We had a HUGE discussion about crawl ratio some months ago, you may want to look it up. I do not believe there is an accurate way to figure it with an auto trans.

It is about 3:1 when you are just barely touching the throttle.

thanks guys. i searched a little bit and found some good info....it wasn't exactly what i was lookin for, but i learned some new things /wwwthreads_images/icons/cool.gif

Fourwheeler mag listed the tq. conv. at 3:1 as well.

But, unfortunately that is going to change depending on amount of throttle. Like I said, there is really no truly accurate way to figure it.

Working around auto trannys 3:1 or 2.70:1 are gerenally the figues I see, I'd say somewhere in that range
