It may not be as bad as all that.  Why don't you try the stall test and
see what speed it is really stalling at.  Stall speeds are engine dependent.
There is really, no such thing as a 1750 RPM stall speed converter.
This is a nomianl designation of some sort that depends on the engine
it is behind.  The converter that gives 1750 rpm stall on a 6 cylinder
might go to 2100 on a V-12.  In my opinion, the reason you car feels
slower is because something is wrong with your transmission.

The converter does not influence the shift points.  If your car shifts
at 22-2300 rpm, there is a problem unrelated to the converter.  I seem
to recall that you had this work done by a shop.  If so, go back to the
shop and tell them your transmission is not shifting at the right
speeds.  To support your case, it would not hurt to carry a Jaguar
repair manual with you to show them the speeds it should shift at.
