Goerend Torque Converter, Triple Disc - DTC-68-(#)

  Goerend Difference Designed and manufactured in-house from start to finish K-factor and torque ratio tested on in-house dynamometer Billet steel cover Made from steel forgings to reduce porosity Multi-bolt pattern Billet steel piston with complete damper assembly Insulates shock of crank pulses from rest of driveline Extends life of converter and transmission  Made from steel forgings to reduce porosity Stator guaranteed to never break
Designed to rotate better when going into coupling mode Creates a venturi effect to help torque multiplication Dual Torrington bearing stator design Lugged stator races Patented internal design Insures lock up on computer and valve body signal Eliminates need to feather throttle to reach lock up Patented fluid flow deflector Proprietary high-performance multi-disc lock up clutches TIG welded, furnace brazed, and silicon bronze reinforced turbine Below 0.005 blueprinted runout tolerances Blueprinted internal clearances Fully pressurized and leak tested Computerized robotic welding 4140 hardened turbine hub 4140 flanged impeller hub Accurately designed pilot Computerized balancing Stators are only as strong as their weakest link. Other aftermarket converter manufacturers may use a billet stator, but will also use the weak factory one-way roller clutch designed for stock horsepower applications. The stock factory inner and outer races that make up the one-way roller clutch can barely hold up to stock conditions and can easily crack or strip out in medium to high horsepower applications. When this happens, the stator will start to freewheel and the converter will lose all torque multiplication. A damaged stator race will also greatly reduce vehicle drivability.    Along with our billet aluminum stator found in our DA, DC, and DZ converters, we utilize lugged outer races that will not strip out. Both the inner and outer races are wider and more substantial than OE to increase surface area and holding power, while preventing cracking failure. The steel outer ring is pinned to the stator, preventing it from being displaced and destroying the converter.  Articles Must-Have Parts For Upgrading Your Truck's Transmission
