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?

On my install, I needed to cut the lower leaf in the spring to clear the connecting bar on the traction bars. First cut and they still hit with the suspension fully hanging. So a second cut was necessary. Good now
