Why are Torque Converter Part(s) Important
Torque Converter is necessary to change between gears in cars with an automatic transmission. While a clutch is a surprisingly simpler mechanism, it is only found on cars with manual transmissions; cars with automatic transmissions use a torque converter. They may use very different means in doing so, but both facilitate in the smooth changing of gears in the transmission at speed. The Torque Converter is integral to the operation of an automatic transmission.
A torque converter consists of two turbines with the blades facing each other with a hole in the middle. Each side spins the transmission fluid inside of it, but the angle of the blades spins the fluid in opposite directions. The force created is the driving force of the car. When the fluid is low, the shifts become choppy because the fluid is not there to soften the blow. The torque converter is also the reason for the loss of fuel mileage in cars with automatic transmissions.
