Default help with torque converter identification

My boss gave me a converter that he got with an engine he bought. Im trying to find out whos it is but I only have the stampings from the converter and there is not much on it. It looks like a 9 to 10 inch with what looks like a billet bottom. It has "PT0925 1" stamped on it as well as "5 * 00" I have already called pro torque and its not theirs any help if you recognize these markings would be appreciated. Thanks, Vince

Looks like a Transmission Specialties front cover, but no idea who built it. It probably has a bushing in the front cover, you can check by spinning the converter with an input shaft and see if the turbine has any side to side movement.

Looks a lot like a PTC but I don't think it is.

Thanks Chris. I called Trans Specialties and they didn't build it buy they did say they sell their covers around the industry. I put the input in it and tried to push the turbine side to side and if it moves at all its only a very small amount. I think its just the play in the splines so im going to put it in and hope for the best. Thanks for the help, Vince

I've got a Pro Torque billet converter, but that front cover looks a lot lighter than mine. I wonder what it weighs. I think Pro Torque uses the Sonnax cover.

Thanks for the reply. Its definitely not a Pro Torque I called them first because of the "pt" in the numbers stamped on it.
