Toyota Landcruiser A440F Custom Billet Torque Converter
Our billet torque converters are custom built in Australia to suit a specific engine and transmission. They are strengthened to provide superior performance and durability compared to the stock torque converter. Our custom billet torque converter copes with situations where the original torque converter would struggle or fail. For example, in most cases factory torque converters are not built to handle any power upgrades or to tow excessive weights for long distances. This may lead to overheating the transmission or contribute to poor fuel consumption. Our billet torque converters are all custom built to overcome these issues and many other inefficiencies. Moreover, our torque converter overcomes all known factory faults.

Fitting Notes:
1. Machine the head of the crank bolts (drive plate bolts) by 4MM (160tho) from the hex part of the bolt heads so that they don’t make contact with the torque converter once installed.
2. Remove the drive plate and crank spacer from engine and machine the nose of the crank spacer down enough so it removes the entire external chamfer only. The nose of the spacer must not be allowed to bottom out at the base of the torque converters spigot once fitted, but must still be long enough to hold drive plate central.
3. Use a 6 sided socket (single hex) and locktite supplied to tighten crank bolts.
4. Temporarily place the torque converter on the drive plate/engine before fitting the transmission and check that nothing is holding the torque converter away from the drive plate. Making sure the contact point of the converter is making full contact with the drive plate. Reinstall the torque converter into transmission before fitting transmission.
