Some of the first steps of designing new products is by identifying the weak points and problem areas of the existing parts and figuring out how to improve and fix them. In the case of the Ford 5R110W torque converter, the main factory components are the weak points. The impeller and turbine being made of thinner steel, and the lack of furnace brazing on the turbine, leaves these parts prone to breakage and catastrophic converter failures.
Rather than try to put a bandage on these weaknesses, Goerend sets the stock Ford torque converters aside and looked to the stronger, more reliable Allison 1000 torque converter. Using the Allison 1000 furnace brazed turbine and impeller, Goerend is able to produce the highest strength 5R110W torque converter.
