Banks 72521 Torque Converter Ford 1995-03

Banks Billet™ Torque Converter

PICKUP/EXCURSION with E4OD/4R100 automatic:
With its multi-disc lockup clutch assembly and improved forged-steel billet housing that maintain solid contact without flexing, the new Banks Billet Torque Converter with RaceLock® technology provides far greater torque capacity than stock (1100 lb-ft vs. 740 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 turbine and impeller, and from the furnace-brazed and hardened turbine hub to the hardened pump drive made of 4130 chrome-moly steel to withstand massive torque, the Banks Billet Torque Converter is built for precision, performance and long-lasting durability. It's meticulously designed to properly match the 7.3L Power Stroke's torque band to deliver the maximum power to the wheels and improve acceleration.

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.

For optimal automatic transmission performance, Banks recommends its TransCommand® to manage line pressure, provide sure and sturdy shifts, lower transmission fluid temperature and further improve transmission durability. For power upgrades to Power Strokes with E40D or 4R100 transmissions, TransCommand is required.

Triple stock torque capacity and lower transmission fluid temperatures with Banks Billet Torque Converters.

When subjected to heavy loads or high power output from the engine, the factory torque converter can fail and damage 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 billet torque converters, on the other hand, are designed without compromise by world-class engineers to stand up to the most extreme punishment. The furnace-brazed turbine prevents leaks, unwanted heating, and wear. The three-friction-element clutch system and bulletproof billet steel covers maintain solid contact without flexing, allowing the converters to triple the stock torque capacity, making them tough enough for racing! Because the lockup clutch is slip-resistant, transmission fluids stay cooler and transmission life is prolonged.

These Banks billet torque converters are designed to match the Duramax torque band to deliver maximum power to the wheels, cutting nearly a second off of your 0-60 mph acceleration time. They're the best way to reduce the likelihood of expensive transmission damage due to overheated transmission fluid or fluid contamination.
