And they end up being fleet cars anyhow.

It's in the torque converter. From my experience, the hydramatics tend to have a lower stall speed than the Jap counterparts. I'm not sure if it's a design issue with the Jap stuff tho.

The old ones are cool. But I meant the mid 90's version of the SS

Those cars still have road presence but outside of looks and sound need a lot of work to keep up with Camry in the next lane. At the very least, if you are going to dump money into a car, they are cool candidates. |

The G6 with the big engine yanks the wheel even when simply trying to pass on the highway. The result of inferior geometry of the driveaxles & tie rods.

Most Japanese makes if you notice you have to rev the engine in order for the vehicle to move. This is a function of either a higher torque converter stall speed or a less efficient torque converter.

How does it not make any sense? Torque steer is not caused by the torque converter...... You can have torque steer even with a manual transmission.
I'm no engineer, but from what I've read, torque steer needs to be engineered out by making good decisions with the length of the 2 driveaxles (equal vs. unequal), as well as the mounting location of the steering rack & associated hardware. Last edited by Homeslice; 03-12-2011 at 06:02 PM.. |
