FTI 9.5in 700R4/4L60(Early) Economy Lock-Up Street Racer Series - 27 Spline - 2800 Stall

If you're looking to get more out of your classic GM rear-wheel-drive car or truck, a torque converter upgrade is a smart move. This FTI Performance Economy Lock-Up Street Racer Series torque converter is built for 2004R and early 700R4 transmissions with a 27-spline input shaft. It's designed to give you a noticeable improvement in acceleration and overall performance for street driving, with a 2800 RPM stall speed that matches well with mild performance camshafts and rear-end gear ratios. This converter fits a wide range of popular vehicles from the 1980s, including models like the Chevrolet Caprice, Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser, and Pontiac Grand Prix.

FTI Performance has a solid reputation for building reliable torque converters, and this Street Racer series is no exception. It features a lock-up design, which means when you're cruising at highway speeds, the converter will mechanically couple the engine to the transmission. This reduces slippage, lowers engine RPM, and improves fuel economy compared to non-lock-up converters. The 9.5-inch diameter is a common size for these applications, offering a good balance between efficiency and performance. It's well-built to handle the demands of street driving and occasional spirited acceleration, making it a popular choice for enthusiasts looking for an affordable performance boost.

When installing a new torque converter, it's crucial to ensure it's fully seated onto the transmission's input shaft before bolting it to the flexplate. Failure to do so can cause transmission damage. This converter is designed as a direct fit for the specified transmissions, but always double-check your transmission model and spline count to be sure. While this converter offers improved performance for street use, it's important to note that it is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.
