Torque Converters Explained
In this video I cover the purpose and operation of the turbine, stator, impeller, and torque converter clutch. I hope the explanation and practical give you some insight into how these parts work to not only transfer power from the engine to the transmission, but also how it drives the transmission pump and doubles the torque output of the engine when you take off from a dead stop. I’ve wanted to make this video for some time. In fact I’ve had the fans sitting in the back of the shop for almost a year. Now that I have the Automatic Transmission Dissection video under my belt I thought I would add a torque converter dissection into the mix. I hope you enjoy this video and that it gets you a better understanding of torque converter operation. Especially since I killed my air compressor cutting this one in half.

Thanks for video. Have a question. My 4l80e start whistle on all gears, it’s gets louder on higher speed, but it stops as soon as I leave pushing a gas pedal, it’s real sensitive, just I even touch a pedal lightly it stars whistle again. So it whistle on all gears gets louder on the speed only when pushing gas pedal, doesn’t whistle when releasing pedal. I was thinking it torque converter and after your video I’m pretty sure it is. What di you think? Thanks
