In high performance diesel racing applications, the stock locking torque converters (TC) often are the weak link between the engine and transmission. To increase torque holding capacity, torque converters often have multiple friction surfaces, and heavy Duty components. In extreme cases, these can overheat and fail as well. When this happens, the torque converter is removed from the truck, and sent to a repair facility. This is costly and time consuming, when the typical failure is often overheated or worn clutch surfaces. The 12-Bolt Hi5 Torque Converter was designed to overcome some of these challenges by increasing the friction surface count to five, adding six additional flexplate bolts (for a total of twelve), and by being serviceable at the racetrack, or back at the shop. The ability to service the TC allows clutches to be inspected, and replaced at regular intervals, without having to ship the TC away.
