TORQUE CONVERTER

The torque converter (Fig. 317) is a hydraulic

device that couples the engine crankshaft to the

transmission. The torque converter consists of an

outer shell with an internal turbine, a stator, an

overrunning clutch, an impeller and an electronically

applied converter clutch. The converter clutch pro-

vides reduced engine speed and greater fuel economy

when engaged. Clutch engagement also provides

reduced transmission fluid temperatures. The con-

verter clutch engages in third gear. The torque con-

verter hub drives the transmission oil (fluid) pump.

The torque converter is a sealed, welded unit that

is not repairable and is serviced as an assembly.
