The Story
Strength, reliability and years of engineered excellence are melded together to bring you the ultimate torque converter for your Powerstroke.
Plain and simple, ATS knows transmissions, that's really where they got their start when the company was founded. And these years of service are what have lead the team at ATS to what they call the Five Star, a product that is not a re-engineered stock torque converter, but rather a completely redesigned ground up converter that now holds three patents it can hang on the wall.
Featuring square drive tabs that are precision CNC cut into the billet cover, the Five Star is built in a unique two piece design that not only allows them to cut precision radial flank drive lugs into the cover, but also utilizes a plasma weld, ensuring unprecedented quality. The patented radial flank drive tabs virtually eliminate the wear that is common with all other round tab multi-disc torque converters, and is the reason that ATS can offer a FIVE YEAR WARRANTY on all of their torque converters.
IMPORTANT NOTE: We do not recommend installing this torque converter in a stock transmission, due to the enhanced stall of the torque converter, you can see increased wear to the stock clutches, and can potentially break the stock flex plate and input shaft. We recommend at least installing a billet input shaft, billet flex plate, and upgraded clutches.
