FTI 9.5in 5R55 Billet Triple Disc Lock-Up Street Racer Series - 3200 Stall

If you're looking to get more out of your 1997-2010 Ford Explorer, especially if you're planning on some spirited driving or weekend track days, a high-performance torque converter like this one from FTI Performance can make a notable difference. This 9.5-inch billet lock-up torque converter is built for the 5R55 transmission and is set up with a 3200 RPM stall speed, meaning it's designed to let your engine rev higher before the transmission fully engages, giving you a stronger launch off the line.

FTI Performance builds these Street Racer Series converters with a solid billet cover for improved strength and reliability. Inside, you'll find a triple disc setup, which offers more surface area for smoother engagement and better power handling compared to single or dual disc designs. The internal components are furnace brazed and TIG welded for durability, and it uses triple Torrington bearings to reduce friction and wear. This combination is aimed at providing both improved performance and a longer service life for demanding use.

This torque converter is a significant upgrade for those pushing their Explorer, Mustang, Aviator, or Mountaineer beyond stock specifications. It's important to note that this part is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. Ensure your vehicle's transmission and supporting systems are ready for the increased power and stall speed this converter offers.
