    Higher stall=softer shifts?

    Hey, My trans builder says that the higher you go with a stall converter, the softer the shifts will be. I had a B&M 2400 converter in my car and it shifted real firm, not tire chirping, but you could feel it. I then had the tranny rebuilt and put in a real converter. Edge 3200 nonlock. I...
