Description
Many owners of late model 6.4-liter Ford Power Stroke Trucks are updating their trucks for increased power. With an automatic transmission, this can have some unexpected and unwelcome side effects when it comes to maintaining the best drivability. The fluid inside the transmission's torque converter is pumped between the turbine and impeller pieces to transfer torque from the engine into the transmission and then to the wheels. The impeller, which turns at engine revolution speed, spins the hydraulic fluid, which then turns the turbine and transmission gear train. The revolution speed at which this power transfer happens is called the "stall speed" of the torque converter. Once power is increased in the trucks engine, the torque converter's stall speed (R.P.M.) can in-turn be raised significantly. Since the diesel engines peak performance takes place at lower R.P.M., this can have a detrimental and unwanted effect. ATS has alleviated this problem by re-engineering the torque converter with a wider turbine and impeller to control the hydraulic fluid. With the wider stance of these pieces, along with the stator design, the effective leverage exerted on the fluid is increased and allows the stall speed to remain at optimum R.P.M. As with the previous Five Star Torque Converter designs, ATS provides a patented 5-disc lockup clutch pack for ultimate power transfer and strength. Stamped steel factory components, such as the cover (or shell) of the converter, are replaced with heavy duty billet-machined pieces. Plastic internals, such as washers, are replaced by H.D. metal roller bearings. Other parts which can lead to internal failure, such as the tab-fastened fins on the turbine and impeller, are brazed and reinforced for increased strength. IMPORTANT NOTE: MUST BE USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH ATS BILLET FLEX PLATE (or other 6 or 12 bolt designed plates)

About ATS Diesel Performance
ATS DIESEL PERFORMANCE

ATS Diesel Performance, based out of Arvada, Colorado, is a diesel performance manufacturing company that designs, engineers, and manufactures upgraded transmission components, valve bodies, patented heavy-duty torque converters, exhaust and intake manifolds, electronics, turbochargers, dual CP3 injection pumps, and more for Cummins, Powerstroke, and Duramax powered diesel trucks. Operating out of a humongous 110,000 square foot facility in the heart of the Rocky Mountains allows ATS to keep operations in-house, as opposed to overseas sourcing, and then grueling test their products at altitude and through grades and descents that would make other companies think twice. From full-time RV users who travel nonstop to high-horsepower competition-based vehicles, ATS has the answers.

ATS DIESEL TRANSMISSIONS

Clint Cannon and Ranee Elder founded Automotive Transmission Specialists in 1993. At that time, the company specialized in transmission repair for all types of vehicles. In 1997, the company "Performance Torque Converters" was founded, and they started doing torque converter rebuilds in-house. Bringing the capability of building torque converters in-house gave them more flexibility to service their racing customers. As the popularity of diesel trucks grew and more people became aware of the power upgrades available for their diesels, problems with diesel transmissions emerged.

Clint started research and development into a more robust torque converter to address the transmission issues. It was discovered that a clutch pack design was the answer to providing a robust torque converter. The development of the TripleLok Torque Converter and the company's focus on Diesel Performance products resulted in a rename of the company to ATS Diesel Performance.

By having their foot in the door before most, it allowed ATS Diesels transmission upgrades to grow with the demands of diesel trucks, putting them at the forefront of reliability. Fortunately for us, Clint didn't stop with transmissions and began to explore and refine upgraded turbochargers, intake and exhaust manifolds, and anything else to generate additional power with the ever-present mindset of maintaining powertrain reliability.

ATS Diesel products are proudly made in the USA.

Product Overview: ATS Torque Converters
The torque converter in your transmission is the first line of defense is being responsible for transfering power from your engine and getting it to the ground, and no, all torque converters are NOT created equally. ATS is generally known as one of the best in the business in manufacturing aftermarket torque converters that can take a beating. Check out this video showing Clint Cannon, owner of ATS Diesel, explaining what sets his apart from the rest.

Buy this product instead of factory flex plate and converter

"Bought converter with billet flexplate purchase. Had to replace factory flexplate multiple times."
