TC Remanufacturing F49HS Automatic Transmission Torque Converter

Ford Torque Converter for Classic Truck and Van Applications

TC Remanufacturing F49HS is an automatic transmission torque converter built for Ford rear-wheel-drive applications that call for a non lock-up design. With a 12.750-inch converter diameter, 1.375-inch pilot diameter, and 31-spline configuration, it is matched to a wide range of Ford trucks, vans, and passenger vehicles from 1970-1996.

This F49HS torque converter is specified with an 11.440 bolt circle, milled flats hub type, 4-stud mounting, and 3/8 x 1.0 mounting thread size. The 1800-2200 stall range supports drivability characteristics commonly associated with older Ford automatic transmission setups.

What This Torque Converter Helps Address

• Transmission shudder or vibration during acceleration
• Incorrect stall characteristics after a transmission rebuild
• Fitment issues caused by mismatched spline count or pilot dimensions
• Launch feel that does not match the vehicle’s original drivetrain setup
• Converter replacement needs on Ford F-150, F-250, F-350, Bronco, and Econoline applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the transmission’s spline count, pilot diameter, pilot length, bolt circle, and mounting style before installation. Confirm that the vehicle uses a non lock-up converter and compare the 12.750-inch diameter and 1800-2200 stall range against the original application. For Ford F-150, F-250, F-350, Bronco, and Econoline fitments, matching the converter to the transmission code and engine combination is important for proper operation.

Inspect the flexplate, pump engagement, and converter seating during installation. Proper alignment and full engagement before transmission installation help prevent pump damage and driveline concerns.
