Product Details

This TC Remanufacturing torque converter is intended for automatic transmission service where the original converter specification calls for an 11-inch unit with a slotted hub and 27 splines. The thick mounting style and no-ring-gear configuration are important match points when selecting a replacement torque converter for transmission rebuilds or drivability repairs. For buyers searching for TC Remanufacturing R18, R18 torque converter, or an automatic transmission torque converter with these exact dimensions, the listed attributes should be verified against the transmission build sheet before installation.

Use this part when servicing a transmission that requires the same converter diameter, hub style, and spline count. It is a practical match for repair work where the original converter has wear, contamination, or internal failure and the transmission needs to be returned to proper operation.

What It Is Used For

  • Replacing a worn or failed automatic transmission torque converter
  • Restoring proper coupling between the engine and transmission
  • Addressing shudder, slip, or engagement complaints tied to converter wear
  • Supporting transmission rebuilds that require an 11-inch, 27-spline converter
  • Matching a slotted-hub, thick-mount converter specification

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm converter diameter, hub type, mounting style, and spline count against the original unit before installation. Inspect the transmission pump, flexplate, and related hard parts for wear or damage, and verify proper seating of the converter during assembly. Because fitment data is not provided, this part should be selected by transmission specification rather than by vehicle lookup alone. If your application calls for TC Remanufacturing R18, verify all dimensions before final assembly.

Quality Assurance

TC Remanufacturing supplies transmission hard parts for rebuild and replacement work, and this converter is identified by the R18 part number and its published physical specifications. Cross-reference part numbers are not listed in the provided data.
