The torque converter is the fluid coupling between the engine and automatic gearbox. It transmits power through hydraulic fluid, allowing the engine to idle with the car stationary and providing torque multiplication at low speeds. Inside, a turbine, impeller, stator, and lock-up clutch work in concert. Torque converter failure causes shuddering at lock-up speeds, slipping, overheating, and eventually complete power transfer breakdown. Replacement requires gearbox removal and is a significant repair, but it is far less expensive than gearbox damage from an ignored fault. At CarParts247 we stock remanufactured and new torque converters for popular automatic and DSG transmissions.
Torque converter problems often present as transmission faults. Accurate diagnosis avoids unnecessary gearbox overhauls.
The torque converter's internal fluid carries heat and fine wear particles. Regular fluid changes protect the converter and extend its service life.
