2. TORQUE CONVERTER

Function (4WD)
Torque converter is installed between engine and automatic transmission. It consists of pump impeller, turbine
and stator. The pump impeller is welded at converter housing and the converter housing is bolted at the drive plate.
The torque converter converts the mechanical energy from engine to hydraulic energy, and the turbine connected to
transmission input shaft converts this hydraulic energy to mechanical energy again.
The stator between pump and turbine increases the output torque from turbine by converting the flowing direction.
The stator has a torque converter area that changes the flowing direction and a fluid coupling area where the stator
rotates. And, the lockup clutch integrated in torque converter prevents the power from losing and reduces fuel
consumption.
