meron ba ganito dito? as i recall, most other countries nagooffer ng performance aftermarket torque converters that could minimize yung power loss and improve ang response ng transmission.
since sa susunod, most dealer-cars na sa atin puros matic na, lalo na sa mid to top variants and models, and most MT will be dropped to either the workhorse/basic models and those expensive sport model.
will find some links for the articles para magka-idea what i mean.

Aftermarket ATF coolers, meron na... then high-performance ATF...
But for high-po torque converters, you still have to send out the stock (or pay a car charge so that the shop can find a torque converter that matches your car) for them to rebuild... cost is high... last time I asked, it was already around $400... this was a looong time ago... looking back... ouch... refabbed TCs can cost around $1000 now...

September 7th, 2008 07:52 PM #5any high temp full syn atf should be able to take the punishment.
the question is, do you really need a atf cooler? for most cars, even if hataw hatawin mo ok lang and you won't need it unless you do major work to the engine.

For street use, Synthetic ATF and a cooler upgrade (typically the core of an aftermarket cooler is about 5k+ pesos) are more than enough. I doubt you'll see enough savings from a low-stall (early lockup) converter to justify the price.
For tuning... a high-stall converter (late lockup) helps you build up power in torque-braking for drag-launches... and if you've got a turbocharged car, a stronger (rebuilt) torque converter is generally a good idea.... since your stock AT wasn't built to handle really high loads... but it's expensive stuff.
You can buy off-the-shelf converters for some applications, but for others, you have to go for refabricated stock pieces... which means adding a core charge for the US supplier so they can buy a stock piece to convert. That's why it's $$$.

October 19th, 2008 04:22 PM #8unless you drive a muscle car you're going to have a hard time finding a high stall speed TC. lalo na locally.
I found a comprehensive Oil Analysis of different SK ZIC oils from Russia. Translate it yourself. ...
