This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
What It Is Used For
- Replacing a worn or failing torque converter in a Jaguar XK or Range Rover
- Restoring lock-up clutch operation and smoother transmission coupling
- Addressing shudder, slip, or delayed engagement concerns tied to converter wear
- Correcting drivability issues related to improper stall behavior
- Returning the transmission to proper OE-style fitment and function
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify transmission code, spline count, pilot diameter, bolt circle, and mounting style before installation. Confirm the converter seats fully on the transmission input components and that the lock-up system and mounting points match the vehicle’s original configuration. For best results, inspect the transmission fluid, cooler, and related hard parts before installing a replacement torque converter.
Quality Assurance
