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 one up today!
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.
