Torque Converter Problems

Torque Converter

The torque converter is a component of the transmission used to transmit rotating mechanical power. It is a type of fluid coupling or also known as hydraulic coupling. It is located between the engine and transmission and transfers rotating power produced by the engine to a rotating driven load.


Torque converter issues are a common transmission problem. They are not usually the root cause of a transmission problem, but rather, they can be affected by a transmission problem. If you have a problem with your torque converter, you most likely have another problem with your transmission that is the main cause.


Do you wonder what the symptoms are of a torque converter problem? Here are some common signs of a torque converter problem:

·        Slipping

·        Overheating

·        Old/Dirty Transmission Fluid

·        Shuddering       

·        A Whirring, Clunking, or Humming Noises
