It can be difficult to pinpoint a transmission problem as an issue with the torque converter but there are some telltale signs you should be aware of. Symptoms of a bad torque converter include overheating, slipping, shuddering, dirty fluid, high stall speeds, or strange noises. If you’re experiencing either of this, chances are, your torque converter will go through this exact surgery soon.
To begin, once your unit arrives at their location, the technicians get it unboxed and ready for disassembly. Since these are sealed, and by sealed we mean welded shut, together, they have the tooling that will cut into the front cover exposing its insides.
Common Converter Issues
Damaged Torque Converter Seals- A damaged seal in the converter will allow fluid to leak out of the converter which results in a number of issues such as shifting issues, slippage, and overheating.
Damaged Converter Clutches- Like a manual transmission, automatics have clutches too except they are located throughout the transmission as well as inside the converter. Clutch failure can cause multiple issues as including sticking in gear.
