San Antonio Torque Converter Rebuild - Premier Torque Converter Rebuilds by the Transmission Specialists at Gene Brown's Transmission

What is a Torque Converter?

A torque converter is a type of fluid coupling, found in an automatic transmission, which acts as an automatic clutch transmitting engine torque to the transmission. The converter can either multiply torque generated by the engine or act to slow it down. The parts of the torque converter consist of the stator, pump impeller, turbine runner, one-way clutch, damper, front cover, lock-up clutch, turbine runner hub, and thrust bearing. All of these pieces make up a critical part of the vehicles function. 

Common Problems with Torque Converter

• Overheating- brought from continuous high levels of slippage
• Broken stator clutch-  from a sudden application of power which shocks the clutch with a heavy load
• Seizure of stator clutch- components of the clutch get locked together keeping the stator from rotating
• Blade deformation- excessive heating causes the blades to bend
• Ballooning- the converter housing expands or ruptures from the converter experiencing high RPM or sudden heavy load
