FTI 9.5in Ford AOD Street Racer Series Converters - Sprague Type - 3000 Stall - Non Lock-Up

The Sprague-type roller bearing inside this FTI Performance Street Racer Series torque converter is a key detail for serious Ford AOD transmissions. This design choice helps manage the significant forces involved, especially when you're aiming for a 3000 RPM stall speed. It's built for performance applications where you need a converter that can handle the demands of spirited driving and racing without the complexity of a lock-up clutch.

This converter is specifically tuned for the Ford AOD transmission, meaning it's designed to bolt up and work with your existing setup. The 9.5-inch diameter is a common size for performance applications, offering a good balance between efficiency and responsiveness. With a 3000 RPM stall, it's engineered to let your engine rev up before the transmission starts to engage, giving you that immediate surge of power off the line. This is ideal for drag racing, street performance, or any situation where quick acceleration is a priority.

When installing a non-lock-up converter like this one, it's important to understand that you won't have the fuel economy benefits of a lock-up clutch at cruising speeds. However, for a dedicated performance build, this trade-off often means a more direct power transfer and a simpler system. Ensure your transmission fluid is fresh and that you've properly filled the converter before starting the engine to avoid any initial damage. This converter is a solid choice for anyone looking to maximize the performance potential of their Ford AOD.
