[DiElliana]

Symptoms of a faulty torque converter: 1. Overheating of the torque converter oil; 2. Insufficient oil supply pressure in the torque converter; 3. Oil leakage from the torque converter; 4. The machine moves at too low a speed or lacks power; 5. Abnormal noises from inside during operation. A torque converter is a hydraulic component composed of a pump wheel, turbine, and guide wheel, installed between the engine and the transmission. It uses hydraulic oil as the working medium to transmit torque, change torque, shift gears, and act as a clutch. Functions of the torque converter: 1. It can automatically and continuously adjust the turbine speed according to load changes, improving the vehicle's passing ability; 2. The torque converter connects the pump wheel and turbine through liquid, reducing the impact load of the engine on the transmission system and extending the lifespan of the transmission system.
