FTI 9.5in 5R55 Billet Lock-Up Street Racer Series - 3800 Stall

This is the FTI Performance 9.5-inch Billet Lock-Up Street Racer Series torque converter, specifically designed for your 1997-2010 Ford Explorer, and also fits the Explorer Sport Trac, Mustang, Lincoln Aviator, and Mercury Mountaineer. If you're looking to get more out of your automatic transmission, especially for weekend track days or spirited driving, a performance torque converter like this can make a notable difference in how your vehicle launches and accelerates. It's built to handle more power and provide a more direct connection between your engine and transmission when locked up.

What sets this converter apart is its robust construction. The billet cover is strong and durable, designed to withstand the stresses of higher horsepower applications. Inside, you'll find furnace-brazed fins for solid internal strength and TIG welded seams for reliable sealing. It also features triple Torrington bearings, which help reduce friction and improve longevity, especially important when you're pushing your vehicle harder. The 3800 stall speed means the engine will reach higher RPMs before the torque converter fully couples, allowing for a more powerful launch off the line, which is ideal for performance driving.

When installing a torque converter, it's important to ensure proper fluid levels and that the converter is fully seated onto the transmission input shaft before bolting it to the flexplate. This FTI converter is a significant upgrade for those seeking improved performance from their automatic transmission. Please note that this converter is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.
