Torque converter, location / task / design / function - GF27.20-P-5100G: Notes

TRANSMISSION 722.6 

Fig 1: Identifying Torque Converter Location / Design / Function

	Torque converter, location	The torque converter is rigidly bolted to the driver plate in the torque converter housing.
	Torque converter, task	Reduces the power flow between the engine and the automatic transmission to a minimum when the vehicle is stationary and the engine is idling, boosts the engine torque and provides infinitely variable engine speed and torque matching when moving off.
	Torque converter, design	The impeller (P) is connected to the engine, the turbine wheel (T) is connected to the transmission input shaft. The stator (L) is connected to the transmission housing via a freewheel and the stator shaft (8).
