    Torque Converter Upgrade suppliers??

    Any suggestions for an upgraded torque converter to go behind a 4.6ltr for towing mainly.
    Over the last 2 weeks i have tried to contact a recommended supplier from this site but he doesn't bother responding.
    3 phone calls and an email haven't worked
    any ideas appreciated.
    cheers
    Paul

    Just replaced my flexplate and did the TC at the same time. Ashcroft transmissions and I wouldn't do one without the other.

    Give TCE in Ringwood (Vic) a call.

    Ashcroft.

    Your issue is the 4.0 has the medium sized TC and no upgrade will be able to do the same as a change to a larger unit. And as said, check the flex plate for cracks. Or change depending on the price you can find one for.

    to fit the bigger 4.6 converter you will have to adjust the flexplate height and also fit the different early P38 front end to the autobox from a box code 1043 030 061 or 064

    any suggestions that are not GumGum or Fleabay would be appreciated.
