Description
Number 68S.SS, 68RFE Triple Clutch Billet Torque Converter with Damper and Billet Steel Stator Upgrade.
Truck owners commonly push trucks with the Dodge Cummins diesel engine beyond the limits for which they were designed. PATC offers a heavy duty multi-plate converter clutch kit for the Chrysler 68RFE converter to upgrade the torque converter. The new Converter Assembly easily boosts the converter capacity versus the stock one. The lock-up clutch is not a salvaged OE clutch; it is a new and unique design. Tuners can adjust the lock-up clutch damper to work with engines ranging from stock up to 1,250 ft-lb of torque.
What makes this particular converter so unique is the fact we have incorporated a new state of the damper assembly that 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 to modify torque converter release times when switching to a triple disc billet in conjunction with the 68RFE. The converter can at times cause the vehicle to demonstrate a slight shudder upon deceleration if not released. The removal of the factory Damper assembly specifically causes this issue.
Another unique characteristic of this new converter is that you can tune the dampener by removing or adding internal dampener springs, allowing us to custom build the characteristics of this new billet torque converter to match your vehicle’s particular needs. Additionally, this converter has 3 internal torque converter lock-up discs to spread the load. Our CNC’D billet applies piston allows absolutely no deflection when used. When you combine this new converter with our billet stators, you achieve unmatched efficiency with immense torque at your disposal. The #68S.SS with the Billet Steel Stator cuts stall speed by 500 RPM.
