FTI 9.5in 700R4/Early 4L60 Triple Disc Lock-Up Street Racer Series - LT - 27 Spline - 3000 Stall

FTI Performance is known for building robust drivetrain components, and this Street Racer Series Triple Disc Lock-Up Torque Converter is a prime example of their work. This particular converter is designed for 700R4 and early 4L60 transmissions with a 27-spline input shaft, featuring a 9.5-inch diameter and a 3000 RPM stall speed. It's built to handle the demands of street performance vehicles, offering a significant upgrade over stock converters for those looking to improve acceleration and power transfer.

What sets this converter apart is its construction. FTI uses a computer-designed, CNC-machined billet front cover and a billet lockup piston, which drastically reduces premature clutch wear, a common failure point in lesser converters. The internal components are also built for extreme durability: furnace-brazed and heli-welded fins, a severe-duty sprague, and an anti-ballooning flanged impeller hub mean this converter is made to last under hard use. The custom stator designs and multiple blade angle pumps allow for a wide range of stall speeds, and this specific model is set for a 3000 RPM stall, ideal for matching with performance camshafts and engine builds. This converter fits a wide variety of vehicles, including popular models like the Chevrolet Caprice, Buick LeSabre, and Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser from the 1980s and early 1990s.

When installing a high-performance torque converter like this, it's important to ensure your transmission fluid is fresh and that you follow the manufacturer's guidelines for filling and priming the converter before initial startup. This ensures the internal components are properly lubricated from the start, contributing to the longevity and performance of the unit.
