Default ** GB on the Dragon TC **



Back again for another round, have had more interest in the Dragon TC and am putting together another GB:

The Dragon Torque Converter Series is available for the following applications. 1992-1997 Toyota Lexus SC400 1998-2002 Toyota Lexus SC400 1998-2000 1990-2000 Toyota Lexus LS400 2001-2002 Toyota Lexus LS430 1996-2002 1998-2000 Toyota Lexus GS400 2001-2002 Toyota Lexus GS430

V6 models add-$75.00 for triple disc TC

Warranty and Other Information Precision Industries:

9 1/2-inch torque converters are backed by a 2-year warranty. Included in our 2-year warranty is one free stall adjustment within the first two years from date of purchase. Precision Industries offers the free stall adjustment as a bonus to the customer realizing that most enthusiast usually continue to modify their vehicle as time and money allows. Due to the unique design and versatility of the 9 1/2-inch torque converter the need to purchase an additional torque converter in the future is practically eliminated. The adverage gain on the 9 1/2-inch torque converter series is 2 tenths on 60 foot and up top 3/4 of a second on overall elapsed times in the 1/4 mile. The average horsepower gain is up to 40-50 horsepower to the rear wheels due to the torque multiplication and increased stall speed. Precision Industries torque converters are purple in color when shipped and depending on the transmission operating temperature may change color and/or the tint of the purple may change. The color changes are used to help us evaluate and eliminate any potential overheating problems the customer may be experiencing. The use of external transmission coolers are left to the customers preference but are not a requirement for using our torque converters. Note that when customers are installing non-lock up torque converters with higher stall speeds a transmission cooler would be beneficial for keeping the transmission at a cooler operating temperature.



9 1/2 lock-up LEXUS A341E Single Disc
2400-6000 RPM's

$859.00
(Drop Ship) $16.00

LEXUS IS300 Multi-disc-slightly higher........

Default TC

Hi Everyone,
Can anyone explain to me what is the difference between lock-up and non- lockup TC? I'm planning to get one for my 02 GS300 and I want to know which one is better for my car. At what stall speed should it be set at? How many time does the stall speed have to be reset during the life of the TC? Thank you!
