1996 BD Diesel Torque Converters

BD Diesel Triple Torque Force Converters

Not all multi-disc converters are created equal, and with BD Diesel's Triple Torque Force, less is more. To start, BD's in-house CNC-machined cover is designed as one piece, which prevents warping, improper balancing, and leakage. With this design, BD was able to maintain the factory height, thus eliminating the crowding of the pump and the possibility of premature wear. BD Diesel has engineered the dampener for better balancing by riveting it in place, eliminating welding, which can cause warping and affect balance. Each dampener spring is hand-picked to ensure softer engagement. They added notches to the clutch material to prevent fluid adhesion, thus ensuring that even in fluid coupling, the clutches will always have lube. They offer tighter engineered tolerances and a self-centering, 36-external/32-internal, trapezoid-shaped clutch tooth design that enables more contact surface to ensure that the clutch plates properly align, resulting in less friction wear, a longer converter life cycle, and firmer drivability. The clutch plates are also precision-ground flat for smooth operation and consistent wear. Not only will these converters last longer, but they also have 3 times the torque-holding capacity! Triple Torque Force converters come with BD's engineered cast aluminum X-Stator that has fin lengths, angles, and curvatures that are designed to deliver a fluid coupling engine rpm transfer of up to 95 percent, vs. 75 percent with stock stators. This efficiency reduces engine temperatures, increases fuel economy, and better matches the torque curve of the engine, resulting in more torque and horsepower being delivered to the ground. The overall weight of the BD Diesel Triple Torque Force converters has been reduced by 12 lbs. compared to the competition, resulting in better fuel economy and less wear and tear.
