Torque Converter
The torque converter is the fluid coupling between the engine and an automatic gearbox. It multiplies torque at low speed and locks up at cruising speed. Overheating from towing, low fluid or a failing lock-up clutch destroys it, and debris from a failed converter contaminates the whole gearbox.

Torque Converter — frequently asked questions

Yes, by specialists, but for common models a new unit is often quicker and comes with a warranty.
Will the gearbox need a rebuild too?
If the converter has shed friction material, yes. We recommend a fluid analysis first.
