Torque Converter Compatibility

[ypnas777]

Will a torque converter from a 1998 fwd tranny fit a 1995 tranny? I am converting my 1998 automatic GS-T to awd and found a nice 1995 automatic gsx shell but I want to use the high-stall converter from my fwd tranny.

Yes.

Great, Thanks! But how about the flexplates, are they the same? I would like to use my flexplate since it has a lot less miles on it. Thank You

I have no idea about the flex plate but I know the converters are the same. You can call IPT they will no for sure.

If anyone has any info about the flexplate that would be great.

based on mitsu caps and findings how things where upgraded threw the years.

The flex plate MD754227 (1-1-94 to 8-3-96) was superseeded by MD762473 ( 9-1-96+) based on that, i can use ether or but dont know whats diffrent.

Now on the TCU side, they did change them threw out the years, as to what was changed, dont know. But I was told to get the TCU with the trans just incase of any problems.

MD756601 TCU ( 1-1-94 to 6-3-95)
MD759737 TCU (7-1-95 to 6-3-96)
MR483686 supperseeded MD762043 from 7-1-96 till end of production of the GSX

I called John at IPT and he told me I could use both the torque converter and flex plate from 98 fwd tranny on a 95 awd tranny.
