Torque Converter

The torque converter is equipped with a lock-up clutch. The lock-up clutch is closed dependent on load and speed and drives 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th gears mechanically independent of slip.

In some cases, it may be necessary for installation of a new converter to remove the sleeve bearing from the turbine shaft. For instructions on performing this task, see TORQUE CONVERTER  .
