FTI Parts based out of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is now Independence Driveline!

FTI Parts opened for business in the Winter of 2023, and quickly grew to one of the largest manufacturers of Torque Converter, and Transmission Components in the performance industry. Sharing a close name to our sister company in the Wharton Automotive Group, FTI Performance began to become a logistical issue with many customers and vendors alike confusing the two organizations as one. With our close proximity to the City of Philadelphia, known as the birthplace of America, Independence Driveline was born. Independence Driveline remains a division of the Wharton Automotive Group based out of Anaheim, California specializing in the B2B sales of Performance Transmission and Torque Converter Components.
