Hi guys, just wondering if the torque convertor in my VCT XR is the same as other stock AU i6 torque convertors? Mine is on the way out & needs replacing pretty soon. Any help would be appreciated!
cheer's, Maka

They're the same according to ebay lol. I only asked because apparently the manual VCT's 1st gear ratio is slightly different (don't quote me I'm not sure) compared to a standard AU 5 speed manual 1st gear ratio.
Going by that logic, I thought there was a chance my VCT's torque convertor was different compared to a non Tickford Au i6 torque convertor. Na, I think they are the same. cheer's, Maka

Maka, a torque converter on a manual box?
My guess is they are the same, (for the auto) All being 1600rpm

To cut a long story short, I thought the tc in my xr is different to a non tickford one. The manual angle was how vct manuals have a different first gear ratio compared to a non tickford manuals, so going by that logic I thought there's a chance tickford tc's are somehow different non tickford tc's. Mine has gotten noisy (tc clutch springs rattling & clicking) so it needs replacing pretty soon. cheer's, Maka

You missed the word "angle" so when I read it it came across as "5 speed manual box"
But fairly sure they are the same. Either that or the Haynes manual i have isn't for vct motors
