With
its multi-disc torque converter clutch and indestructible forged-steel
billet housing, the new Banks Billet Torque Converter provides
more than double the torque capacity of stock (1600 lb-ft vs.
700 lb-ft). And because the lockup clutch is slip-resistant,
transmission fluid temperatures stay cooler and transmission
life is prolonged. From its single-piece billet housing, CNC-machined
from forged steel, to the furnace-brazed and hardened turbine
hub, to the hardened pump drive made of 4130 chrome-moly steel
(for withstanding massive torque), the Banks Billet Torque Converter
is built for precision, performance and long-lasting durability.
Eash application is meticulously designed to properly match
the truck's torque band, delivering the maximum power to the
wheels.
The Banks Billet
Torque Converter is also a smart upgrade for trucks modified
for increased performance. The entire assembly is balanced
and blueprinted for ultimate performance and smoothness. Pick

Improve
performance; never compromise it.
When subjected to heavy loads or high power output from the
engine, the factory torque converter can fail, damaging your
transmission in the process. Unfortunately, many aftermarket
units skimp on clutch surface, leading to dangerous clutch wear
and transmission heat. Some even weld the turbine fins in place,
leaving gaps prone to leakage and loosening.
Banks' three-friction-element
clutch system and indestructible billet steel cover maintain
solid contact without flexing, allowing the Banks Billet Torque
Converter to triple the torque capacity of stock (as much
as 1600 lb-ft vs. 600 lb-ft). The Banks Billet Torque Converter
is also a smart upgrade for trucks modified for increased
performance. The entire assembly is balanced and blueprinted
for ultimate performance and smoothness.
It's
tough enough for racing! And it cuts nearly one second off
the 0-60 mph acceleration time.
Because
the lockup clutch is slip-resistant, transmission fluid temperatures
stay cooler and transmission life is prolonged.
