The clutch plates are also precession ground flat for smooth operation and consistent wear. With engineered tighter tolerances and self-centering 36-external / 32-internal trapezoid-shaped clutch teeth design that enable more contact surface to ensure the clutch plates properly align resulting in less friction wear, longer converter life cycle and firmer drivability. Added notches to the clutch material to prevent fluid adhesion thus ensuring that even in fluid coupling the clutches will always have lube. Each dampener spring is hand picked to ensure softer engagement. Not stopping there BD Diesel has engineered the dampener for a better balancing by riveting it in place, eliminating welding which can cause warping and out-of-balance. With BD Diesel's one piece cover design, they were able to maintain the factory height thus eliminating crowding of the pump and the possibility of premature wear. BD Diesel's Enhanced Stall Triple Torque Force torque converter for the 2003-2007 5.9L Dodge Cummins 48RE is designed with a one piece cover which prevents warping, improper balancing, and leakage.
