FTI 9.5in 5R55 Billet Triple Disc Lock-Up Street Racer Series - 3600 Stall

This 9.5-inch FTI Performance Street Racer Series torque converter is built with a solid billet cover, a key component for handling the demands of higher horsepower applications. It's designed specifically for the 5R55 transmission found in a range of Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles, including your 1997-2010 Ford Explorer. If you're looking to improve your vehicle's acceleration and responsiveness, especially for weekend track use or spirited driving, this torque converter is a strong option.

The construction features furnace brazing and TIG welding, which are important for ensuring the internal components are securely bonded and can withstand significant stress. Inside, you'll find triple Torrington bearings, contributing to smoother operation and reduced friction compared to standard bearings. This setup is rated for a 3600 RPM stall speed, meaning the engine will reach approximately 3600 RPM before the torque converter fully locks up and transfers power directly to the transmission. This stall speed is ideal for modified engines looking for a noticeable boost in off-the-line performance.

While this converter offers significant performance improvements, it's important to note that it is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. For optimal performance and longevity, consider consulting with a professional installer to ensure proper setup and transmission fluid compatibility with your specific vehicle's modifications.
