2026-02-16 | Fort Mill
The LuK TorCon torque converter product line has expanded with the release of the new Luk 6R80 TorCon. Engineered to outperform rebuilt alternatives up to five times longer, the new 6R80 underscores Schaeffler’s commitment to high-quality manufacturing and product performance. Exclusively built from new, original components – never remanufactured – it is the only product of its kind available in the automotive aftermarket and backed by Schaeffler’s deep expertise as a Tier 1 supplier in the industry.
The LuK 6R80 TorCon is designed to simplify the replacement process by eliminating the need for model-specific cores that are often required in torque converter rebuilding. Distributors and installers can rely on the 6R80 TorCon to be in stock and ready for installation—manufactured to exacting standards using all- new components and advanced manufacturing processes – designed and built in-house from raw material to final assembly.
Featuring industry-leading LuK friction materials and INA premium thrust bearings, the LuK TorCon is engineered to withstand extreme conditions. Its fully furnace-brazed fins improve heat dissipation, reduce wear, and enhance long-term durability. The contamination-free manufacturing process includes 100% pressure and lockup testing, along with precision balancing to ensure every unit meets the highest standards.
The LuK TorCon product line covers a broad range of applications for passenger cars and pickup trucks. Schaeffler’s expertise in manufacturing OE torque converters allows it to capture several applications through a single SKU. The TorCon (TC0019) is compatible with select 2014-2020 Ford F-150 trucks and Transit vans equipped with 6R80 transmissions. It covers multiple engines and has a current VIO of over 2,800,000, offering unmatched versatility when choosing a new torque converter.
Schaeffler remains dedicated to providing innovative solutions that redefine industry standards. The TorCon program is a prime example of Schaeffler’s continued commitment to transforming the landscape of the aftermarket. In the coming months additional SKUs will be released.
