How high do these boxes " stall up"?The revs seem to go a bit higher before the thing starts moving to what i'm used to.Also how do you find the shifting in them?

The stall on my TT was only about 1700rpm ish before it wanted to move forward no matter how much brake i used. The change very crisply no spongy gear changing can seem harsh at times.

this all depends on what engine you have behind it.
NA engine is going to stall up sooner than a TT or EJ25T in bretts case
what RPM are you stalling to postie??? The more the better for offroading

i'm thinking the tranny fluid might be to low car sitting cold way over the top of the hot full mark.start it up after a bit of rattling from the torque conv it shows nothing on the dipstick.Don't think its stalling could be slipping

Mine will drive off at 1200rpm but if I stall it up I can't hold it at the numbers already mentioned.

those numbers are pretty high for a stock converter brett... but you are making alot of torque down low.
If you were to stick the same box in grants car it would probably only stall up to 2000 or so

The box in my car seems to be doing every thing as it should but it was the biggest mistake I ever made. I don't like it and have wondered how I am going to sell the car. Time for a new one. A manual one.

Is it bad for the gear box if its stock and you stall it up?

stall it up for longer than a few seconds and yeah your doing damage
its all about heat - the longer you stall it up for the more heat your generating

4000rpm stall is way too high for a std one, you sure its got enough trans fluid in it?
