FTI 9.5in 5R55 Billet Triple Disc Lock-Up Street Racer Series - 4000 Hard Hit Stall

The FTI Performance 9.5-inch Billet Triple Disc Lock-Up Torque Converter is built with a solid billet cover, a key component for handling the stresses of a 4000 RPM stall speed. This converter is designed for the 5R55 transmission found in a range of Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles, including your 1997-2010 Ford Explorer. It's a well-built upgrade for those looking for improved performance and reliability, especially for weekend track use or spirited driving.

This torque converter features furnace brazing and TIG welding for strong, durable internal connections that can withstand higher engine outputs. The inclusion of triple Torrington bearings helps to reduce friction and improve efficiency, contributing to a more responsive feel from your drivetrain. The 'Hard Hit Stall' designation means it's engineered to launch strongly at around 4000 RPM, making it a popular choice for modified vehicles seeking better acceleration off the line.

When considering an upgrade like this, it's important to note that it's intended for performance applications and is not CARB approved, meaning it cannot be shipped to California. Ensure your vehicle's transmission and other drivetrain components are in good condition to handle the increased power delivery this torque converter enables. For optimal results, consult with a professional to ensure proper installation and compatibility with any other performance modifications you may have.
