Description
Number 68S.AS, 68RFE Triple Clutch Billet Torque Converter with Damper and Billet Aluminum Stator.
Trucks with the Dodge Cummins diesel engine are commonly pushed beyond the limits for which they were designed. To upgrade the torque converter, PATC offers a heavy duty multi-plate converter clutch kit for the Chrysler 68RFE converter. The new Converter Assembly easily boost the converter capacity versus the stock one. The lock-up clutch is not a salvaged OEM clutch, it is a new and unique design. You can tune the lock-up clutch damper to work with engines ranging from stock up to 1,250ft-lb of torque.
The fact that we have incorporated a new state of the damper assembly makes this particular converter so unique, as it now allows you to enjoy the benefits of a triple disc converter without altering the transmission tuning parameters. It is common within the Cummins community to need an aftermarket programmer installed and modified torque converter release times when switching to a triple disk billet in conjunction with the 68RFE. The converter can at times cause the vehicle demonstrate a slight shudder upon deceleration if not released.
The removal of the factory Damper assembly specifically causes this. Another unique characteristic of this new converter is that we can tune the dampener by removing or adding internal dampener springs, giving us the opportunity to custom build the characteristics of this new billet torque converter to match your vehicle’s particular needs. This converter also carries 3 torque converter lock-up disc internally to spread the load. We also have a CNC’D billet apply piston allowing absolutely no deflection when applied. When you combine this new converter with our billet stators, you now have unmatched efficiency with mountains of torque at your disposal. The billet aluminum stator cuts the stall speed 300 RPM.
