Schaeffler’s LuK TorCon: The Only All-New Torque Converter Available in the Aftermarket

Schaeffler offers a unique LuK TorCon torque converter line built entirely from new, original components—never rebuilt or remanufactured. This approach provides durability and performance up to five times greater than rebuilt alternatives.

Manufactured in-house using advanced processes, LuK TorCon units eliminate the need for model-specific cores, simplifying inventory and installation for distributors and installers. They feature premium LuK friction materials, INA thrust bearings, furnace-brazed fins for improved heat dissipation, and 100% pressure, lockup testing, along with precision balancing.

Products recently released include:

  • 6R80 TorCon (TC0019): For select 2014-2020 Ford F-150 trucks and Transit vans, covering multiple engines with a VIO over 2.8 million.
  • 8L90 TorCon (TC0020): For select 2015-2022 GM trucks, vans, and SUVs, with a VIO exceeding 700,000.

Schaeffler continues to expand the TorCon line, providing OEM-quality, all-new torque converters that offer a reliable alternative in the aftermarket.
