The flange is an anti-balloon plate, something you would use on a high RPM racing application.

Engine/Drivetrain / Thor Torque Converter

« Last post by JaredD on July 20, 2026, 09:54:09 pm »

I bought a 4L65e transmission from monster transmission back in 2018 before I knew about their poor reviews and it came with a Thor torque converter that I paid extra to support over 500hp.  Does anyone know why this bolt ring would be welded on to it and what purpose it serves?

Got my hood all sanded down clean. I am no paint and body man, just need to get a coat of primer down.
