Converters with this clutch eliminator should not be run on the street, as the stator is not allowed to freewheel and will generate more heat.
The GM 245mm converter’s weak link is the one-way clutch. Sonnax clutch eliminator GM-R-8 removes that weak link, making it an ideal upgrade for 1⁄8 mile drag racing, mud bogs and high horsepower applications. The stator cap is also integrated in the clutch eliminator to make it as strong as possible in a small amount of space and simplify the assembly.
