Let $G$ be a group, $a \in G$, $|a|$ is infinite. If $|\langle a \rangle ^G : \langle a \rangle |$ is finite ($>1$). I want know whether or not that $|x|$ is infinite for every non-trivial element in $\langle a \rangle^G$?

We hope to investigate the influence of normal closure, so any reference about this situation will be appociated.

Added: By the answer of Kevin, I see that there exists example that $\langle a \rangle ^G$ is not torsion-free. Hence the case that $\langle a \rangle ^G$ is torsion-free is more atractive to me. Thanks the answer of Richard, we know it will be cyclic in this case. But I can't find a non-trivial example. Anyone can provide an example?

About normal closure of cyclic subgroup

Let $G$ be a group, $a \in G$, $|a|$ is infinite. If $|\langle a \rangle ^G : \langle a \rangle |$ is finite ($>1$). I want know whether or not that $|x|$ is infinite for every non-trivial element in $\langle a \rangle$?
