| What is the function of a torque
converter? |
| |
| The
converter is a hydraulic device that couples the engine
crankshaft to the transmission. A
torque converter is also described as a type of fluid
coupling which allows the engine to spin somewhat independently
of the transmission. |
| |
| Internal TC components and
their functions? |
| |
| Pump/Turbine/Stator/Transmission
fluid |
The housing of the torque
converter is bolted to the flywheel of the engine, so
it turns at whatever speed the engine is running at. The
fins that make up the pump of the torque converter are
also known as the impeller and are attached to the inside
of the outer shell of the torque converter, so they also
turn at the same speed as the engine. As the converter
housing is rotated by the engine, so is the impeller,
because they are one and the same and are the DRIVING
MEMBER of the system.
Pump/ The pump on the inside of the Torque is
a type of centrifugal pump.
Turbine/ The turbine is connected to the transmission.
The curved blades (fins) of the turbine is where fluid
enters from the outside of the TC. The turbine is the
output or the DRIVEN MEMBER
of the converter that causes the transmission to spin,
fluid EXITS the turbine from the center, moving in a different
direction from which it entered, which causes the vehicle
to move. |
| Why buy an aftermarket
converter |
| |
| Because you want to
improve fluid coupling. |
|
 |
| Why do you want improve fluid
coupling? |
| |
| Because your engine is revving
and you are going nowhere. In other words your engine
and transmission are not working together. |
| What does better fluid coupling
mean? |
| |
| Better fluid coupling means
better power transfer through the gears. |
| What is lockup? |
| |
| Lock up is a one to one ratio
between engine and transmission. |
| If lockup is a one to one ratio
between engine & engine transmission should I be doing
it in every gear? |
| |
| No you should not, because
you lug down your motor down at low rpms, you lose fuel
economy, and it is bad for engine and simply put bad drivability.
