Torque Converter For Allison Transmissions ENERGY Miscellaneous 18-2-33 New torque convertor is designed to pro-vide the full range of power from a Cummins 6BTA 5.9 diesel engine that's coupled with an Allison 542/545 transmission.
According to the manufacturer, Valley Fuel Injection, the Allison 542/545 transmission's fluid coupling takes place at 1,800 engine rpm's, which means it's not able to take advantage of the low torque rpm that the Cummins engine develops. An-other problem is that the engine revs at close to governed rpm at 60 mph, and at low vehicle speeds high input is required to over-come the load.
Once installed, the BD converter provides more power at low rpm's, reduced rpm's at highway speeds, and lower trans-mission temperatures.
Sells for $550 and takes about 10 hrs, to install.
