FTI 9.5in 5R55 Billet Lock-Up Street Racer Series - 3000 Stall

FTI Performance is known for building strong drivetrain components that hold up to demanding use. This 9.5-inch Billet Lock-Up Street Racer Series torque converter is designed for vehicles like your 1997-2010 Ford Explorer, offering a significant step up in performance and reliability for weekend warriors. It features a 3000 RPM stall speed, which means the engine can rev higher before the torque converter fully locks up and transfers power to the transmission, giving you a more aggressive launch off the line.

This converter is built with a solid billet cover for increased strength and durability. The fins inside are furnace brazed for a strong bond, and all critical welds are TIG welded for a clean, strong joint that resists cracking. It also uses triple Torrington bearings, which are known for their smooth operation and ability to handle significant loads, contributing to the converter's overall reliability and longevity. This well-built unit is a popular choice for those looking to improve their vehicle's acceleration and overall driving feel.

When installing this torque converter, remember that it's designed as a direct replacement for your original unit, fitting the 5R55 transmission. Ensure you follow the manufacturer's installation instructions carefully, paying attention to proper fluid levels and break-in procedures to get the most out of its performance and ensure it lasts. This converter is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.
