Chrysler Torqueflite and AMC Torque Command
Beginning in 1978 for Chrysler and 1979 for American Motors, a lock-up torque converter was used with most transmissions. NOTE: You cannot interchange a lock-up converter with a conventional non lock-up converter. The transmission input shaft and valve body used for lock-up application are different. TCI® offers converters for these two styles of operation.

When changing to an aftermarket torque converter, you may need to replace the OEM flexplate. TCI® 145200 and 145300 flexplates are both heavy-duty units required when using a 10", 9", 8" or 7" torque converter. In conjunction with the converter and flexplate, you will also need to use TCI® 146200 7/16"-20 converter bolts.

TCI® also has external balanced flexplates that must be used when replacing an OEM balanced converter with an aftermarket non weighted converter. This combination will allow a neutral balance between the converter and the transmission that is a must when using aftermarket parts.

Torque Converters
TCI® strives to produce the best torque converters in the industry. Part of the process involves ensuring that each unit is built to spec. Regardless of what category or price level it may fall into, every TCI® torque converter is Triple Tested during assembly.

Once all the prep work on the component parts has been completed, the impeller is welded to the front cover. Immediately following this process, a pair of dial indicators are employed on a rotating table to verify that the impeller body and pump drive hub remain true.

Each unit is then pressurized and subjected to a leak test to confirm the integrity of all the weld seams. Lastly, each unit is computer balanced to reduce annoying and potentially damaging drivetrain vibrations that would occur from an unbalanced torque converter. That's Triple Tested so you can be confident you're getting a torque converter that's ready to roll.

Special Chrysler Torque Converter Balance Weight Information It is very important when replacing Chrysler torque converters that the correct balance weight be used on your new converters. Chrysler engines with cast crankshafts require balance weights on the torque converter to bring the engine assembly into proper balance. Up until 1977, the factory converter came with two rectangular weights located on each side of the drain plug. There are three types of rectangular weights: A, B & C. In 1977, Chrysler changed to a single butterfly weight. These weights corresponded to the 'B' and 'C' weights. Please refer to the identification chart for weight type. Rectangular A: .158" thick B: .250" thick C: .380" thick   Butterfly   B: 1.157" wide C: 2.545" wide   Square       S: .300"T/.219"L/.200"W TCI maintains an inventory of our most popular street performance converters with the various balance weights already attached. If you prefer to order with balance weight, please see the chart below for counterbalanced Chrysler converters. 1992 & later 5.9L engines (360) use a square, unbalanced weight (referred to as an 'S' weight by TCI®). The earlier butterfly weight will not fit the flexplate. 1996 & later converters have a 90° style bolt pattern and the counter balance is in the flexplate. 1993 & later A500 converters have flats on the hub.

Transmissions
TCI® goes the extra mile to ensure your transmission is superior in both form and function. Beginning with a careful inspection of the transmission case and components that will be used, we replace stock parts with high performance bands and components where applicable. We increase fluid flow, lubrication system and thrust capacity. Problematic hard parts are replaced with stronger components, many of which we fabricate ourselves at our in-house machining centers. Valve bodies are completely remanufactured and 100% tested prior to installation. Finally, each and every TCI® StreetFighter® transmission must pass both a static hydraulic pressure test during assembly and a final dyno test prior to shipping. That's Triple Tested so you can be confident you're getting a transmission that's ready to rock.
