| 3 - SPRING |
| 4 - INNER RACE |
The stator assembly (1-4) is mounted on a stationary shaft which is an integral part of the oil pump.
| 1 - STATOR |
| 2 - IMPELLER |
| 3 - FLUID FLOW |
| 4 - TURBINE |
The stator (1) is located between the impeller (2) and turbine (4) within the torque converter case. The stator contains a freewheeling clutch, which allows the stator to rotate only in a clockwise direction. When the stator is locked against the freewheeling clutch, the torque multiplication feature of the torque converter is operational.
