xjcrazy09 Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Can I get some feedback on all of my fellow MJers out there. What would be the best type of torque converter to put into my AW4 for Rockcrawling and some on road driving? and so it begins! :D Thanks in advance!

Pete M Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 I guess no one knows? Automatics aren't my thing. :D All my trucks are stick. The factory ones seem to do alright. :dunno: I don't really hear complaints about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildman Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Only thing I've ever heard of is to add on a torque converter lock - http://gojeep.willyshotrod.com/HowtoAutoSwitch.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xjcrazy09 Posted June 22, 2009 Author Share Posted June 22, 2009 Well since i had the Transmission out i was going to replace the Torque Converter, and was wondering if there were any good aftermarket ones people might have known about. That is the rear axle limiting strap that is mounted onto the top of the housing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 'Tis a good thought. Sorry we couldn't be of more help (though not everyone checks the site daily so someone might post up with something later). It just seems that oem work good enough that there doesn't appear to be much aftermarket support. :hmm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 While you're reworking things, you might think about adding in an extra trans fluid radiator (maybe with a small fan?) to help keep the life blood cool. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 They come up on the strokers forum now and then. Guy down in Louisiana manufactures them; specs are: ~Specifically designed for Jeep 4.6L H.O. 'Stroker' high-torque applications ~Hand brazed turbine and stator fins, inside and out ~All roller thrust bearings (no bronze or composite thrust washers) ~Reinforced pilot with additional welding for added strength ~Special stator and turbine fin angles & clearances for lower stall ratio & higher efficiency than OEM units About $250 w. core.

xjcrazy09 Posted June 23, 2009 Author Share Posted June 23, 2009 Actually your advice was about correct. Turns out from many other forums i have searched the aw4 is best with the stock torque converter. If i had the 4.6 stroker motor i would prob buy the one you mentioned. thanks for the help!
