Certified Transmission HOW TO TORQUE CONVERTER

[@Esurnir]

This Is hands down the absolute best torque converter explanation on KZbin period.

[@givagops]

This is the best explanation of what happens in a transmission. This guy knows how to communicate in clear English. This is a really professional presentation. No mumbo jumbo Thank You.

[@justinschnepf]

this is the best video on how a torque converter works that i have ever seen. i have been looking around for a while trying to answer a few questions i had about how this works and you have answered them all in a very clear and understandable way. Great Job!

[@glm7203]

That's was the best example of how a torque converter works that I have ever seen. Thank you.

[@MRGF78]

I agree...

[@BoldUniverse]

I've said it before and I'll say it again, that was a brilliant video with a brilliant explation of how a torque converter with lock-up clutch works.

[@disciple43]

I have to agree. This is the best and most easily understandable video on the operation of a torque converter that I've seen yet. Thanks for posting this!

[@Engineerboy100]

Excellent explanation of how a torque converter works, needed a refresher and this hit the spot, thank you, good job!

[@DannebergAcres]

Best video I've ever seen too. While I've "kinda" known how a converter works, this galvanized the topic and process for me so that I know understand EXACTLY what is happening. Nice work!

[@CumminsForumHelp]

All i had to do is listen to this man speak for 2 minutes and I have to say one of the best explanation videos on here the man knows what he is talking about.

[@speedi56]

Great explanation. This guy knows his stuff!

[@milosvojinovic5583]

I am a negativ orientated, misstake looking person. always find problems and nag about it..... BUT fot this video and I give pure 10 out of 10.. You are THE BEST man!!! In every aspect I look, this video is perfect.. You are the man with the knowledge and experience

[@christopherbrown124]

Awesome Video on Torque Converters. Short sweet and to the point. Well done.

[@richardconcaildi8067]

Best explanation I have seen about this topic. Keep up the great work. Thank You.

[@JoeBribem]

The best torque converter explanation I have ever seen/heard. Thank you.

[@BoldUniverse]

Fantastic video, I learned a lot and that's great because I had wondered how those things work. Your explanation was comprehensive and totally understandable. Thank you very much! :-)

[@HighestRank]

This is a test of the annoyance broadcast system. If it was not, there would be a way to turn off the lead guitar and freeping blurps.

[@pvvikas]

Very informative and really well explained. Thanks a lot!

[@andrewfordpics]

Amazing Video... Thanks... Just got my Acura MDX transmission rebuilt, and now I finally understand how all this works. Great Video... Very informative...

[@loluspololus]

best demo about converter ever, thank you

[@logyscott]

wow, this is the best video explaining the torque converter out there, and I've seen a bunch on youtube

[@garyr7027]

Informative info. Simple operation and design but hard to grasp the concept of operation until this explained it.

[@dlglasvegasnv1]

The video is great, and explains everything about the torque converter. Awsome video.

[@thatonethattalksalot7656]

Oh my God I've been dying to know how these Ufo looking thing work and why they're in our cars! Thanks for the great explanation!!

[@PhrankTube]

The lockup clutch spline fits into a spline on the turbine. In other words, the lockup clutch is splined/locked onto the turbine . . . it is not locked onto the stator. This can easily be seen starting at about 1:47 of the video. The lockup clutch (w/turbine) will then "lock on" to the torque converter housing when "lock up" occurs. Great video . . . . really enjoyed it but I thought that I should straighten out this minor point of possible confusion for students. Thank you . . . .

[@cpnorkus]

Very good explanation. Question: What causes torque converter shudder? I rebuilt my 4L60E after my pump smashed-up at 175,000 miles. Long story short, complete rebuild kit installed, rebuilt pump and remanufactured TC, Transgo shift kit in valve body, new separator plate and gaskets, new EPC. I'm experiencing erratic line pressure and shuddering at all shifts and have to drive in 3rd because 4th is so shaky. My transmission mechanic drove it with the Scantool connected and said the fluid temp is too high ~180 degrees and a lot of knocking and electrical noise at the engine. The Transgo tech suggests replacing the new EPC and filter with OEM. I don't want to keep throwing parts at this problem and nobody seems to really know why the pressure is erratic and the shuddering is present. My current theory is that when my old pump cato'd it pumped metal fragments through the input shaft to the TC and maybe the input shaft is still fouled and preventing full flow. Thus the erratic pressure, high fluid temperature, and poor TC performance (shuddering). Thoughts?

[@johnnyknoxville77]

I came here as a student. I leave as a master. Thank you, sir, for this fine video!

[@64arguz]

Good explanation and good music too , yeah !!!👍💪

[@babalolax]

Wow, great job. Personally, am grateful such explicit technical detail abt torgue converter.

[@felipevalles8041]

Best explanation ever ever ! Thanks amigo 👍👍

[@-MrRichBiker1967]

wow..great job!! Has to best illustration on you-tube, about the correct function of a torque converter!! Mine just went on my 2012 Camaro v6 auto- go to hit the gas from a cruise-and you get an empty pedal, and NO POWER!!!! I think its the clutch wore out, as explained in the Awesome video!! thank you so much!

[@LVWKMP]

The best explanation yet ever.

[@ivankg86]

Awesome video. Very good explanation.

[@deankay4434]

Question even though this converter video, but what are typical cooling line pressures? The fluid from the spinning pump send some of the fluid out thru shaft holes, into the pump, then holes in the case send fluid out around 10 - 15 PSI as I have understood. The guy on the dyno have probably forgot or had a line come off, so they may have info on that. The pump pushes fluid thru the TCC valve train into the converter. With an open check ball in the turbine shaft, returns heated fluid back thru the release side of this valve train, out to the cooler. The 4L60 return fluid, now cooled, returns and is directed into the lubrication circuit for the carriers gears, bearings and other parts in the lube circuit to cup plugs with tiny holes to spray fluid onto hard to reach parts, like the tail shaft bushing, speedo gears if equipped and others. Wish the word “Torque Multiplication” where Thrown in there as well. Good video! Forget the old people who don’t like background music. They prefer Opera or Oprah instead. Thanks!

[@estanleyyost]

I think I now understand how the torque converter works, thanks.

[@Juniversal]

Great video and explanation...

[@MRGF78]

best explanation yet... thanks...

[@jthulan]

Great explanation on how a TC works.

[@MegaTattoo69]

Great video and excellent teacher...!

[@daonlywang]

@jgizzy the torque converter clutch locks when the pcm commands fluid to stop flowing through the input shaft causing the clutch plate to build friction against the torque converter cover and lock up the whole assembly making a 1:1 ratio

[@francoisbrand7464]

best TC vid / info i ever seen. Music is a bit loud though, but a fantastic vd. I now suspect why my trans feels like its slipping, prob cos the TC is worn out -

[@garyfeldheiser8538]

THIS GUY IS GOOD AT WHAT HE DOES

[@elihappinesspie]

I like the background music. I'll concede that it's probably going to annoy a lot of folks, so maybe a bit risky to use. But I do happen to like it.

[@zemiorka]

Outstanding explaination sir. Thankk you

[@jayatissapeiris6781]

Sir. U explain us very well. Thank you.

[@blackychan195]

usually nothing because when you fill the gearbox the torque converter will also fill but it is good practice to fill it.

[@darockwilda915]

awesome step by step

[@powerstrokeoverland9914]

Thats the best damn video explanation of the TC I've seen!! Good job!!

[@daapz]

Excellent and clear demonstration, thanks!

[@cidpac54]

Excellent detailed explanation - well done - thank you.

[@aaronabbott8039]

Wootton

[@makaveli200369]

Awesome video I have not seen anyone explain this better. I finally know how the fluid control engages the lockup clutch. I have a question if the fluid coming from the center of the shaft keeps the clutch away from the rear cover...what force is pushing the clutch against the rear cover when the lock up is engaged.

[@ObsessionMotorcycles]

Well explained and a great quality video! Thanks

[@Justin95386]

I'm still puzzled by the fact that its only fluid powering transmission. It amazes me how powerful it really is!

[@rahimyunas4713]

Excellent very helpful thanks alot

[@sirsiriussowhy]

Can you repeat that faster please ?

[@fireguy744]

Thanks for the explanation, makes so much more sense now.

[@rezakosarian7745]

one of the best videos I've ever seen. great job and thanks.

[@ziyanzhang8821]

Best torque converter video!

[@joferzly]

clear & clean= excellent.

[@livitup05]

Great explanation.

[@yukonrott]

usually only get about a quart of fluid in it before installing. u cant get it to full cuz when u tip it up it will run out.. and not putting any fluid in it before installing is like starting an engine without oil. i wouldnt risk it. if anything put half a quart in it..

[@rsael2]

It's very excellent explanation and demonstration yet, I hope you get rid of disturbing music. Best regards.

[@rolinslist]

man i would say the best ever nothing bad to say keep up the good work

[@Westside808kauai]

There is a salvage yard where I live but they don't sell any parts.

[@khurramejaz2944]

great job done thanks

[@mikeferrero9503]

Thanks for sharing knowledge and so much info on this video, very good explanation, but the background music gave me headache can't really understand much what you say but thanks again for this.

[@rahalati]

Good job, but the music is too loud making it difficult to follow what you are saying.

[@stevealvares]

awesome tutorial..........but just one question.........did you by any chance switch the Pump (impeller) and the Turbine in the explanation???? I ask this because I always thought the Impeller was on the engine side of the torque converter and the turbine on the transmission side and not like you have shown.........a quick response would be awesome :)

[@Shtoops27]

he forgot the stators other purpose which is the reason why its on a one way clutch. When the transmission speed matches the engine speed the fluid from the impella flows the same direction as the turbine, therefor the stators clutch is not needed and the stator spins freely

[@HighestRank]

The stator doesn't have a clutch, it has a one way (unidirectional)hub.

[@motokev]

Very GOOD

[@titolongo1]

Excellent.

[@Splashfun2000]

great video. So I'm working on my daughters 2011 Kia Sorento, all the symptoms point to a bad torque converter, only question I have is the fluid looks pretty good and i don't see any metal. I have the transmission out. I've seen a couple of videos online where they say a quick check is to put your fingers in and see if the stator moves both ways or just one way. Near as I can tell looking down into the converter the first set of splines is the stator (but not 100% sure) and then there is a set at the bottom, the splines that are the closest as you look into it move both ways, the bottom one I can't get enough leverage to move it, I had a couple of other converters sitting around and tried it with them and the upper spline on those only turns one way. I ordered a torque converter and it came today and I immediately check it and the upper spline turns both ways just like the old one so now I'm not sure. Ever have a bad torque converter without seeing metal particles and what about this rotating the splines to check it because the one I just got and the old one seem to be the same. The symptoms she was having is very very slow acceleration and low power, especially on a hill, in full automatic mode it only shifts into 2nd and then doesn't shift at all but shifts fine in manual mode just doesn't seem to have any power. Fuel pressure, compression, everything else checks out good. A friend who was the service manager at a Kia dealer and was a transmission guy said it very possibly could be the torque converter and for some reason was locking up but he was not totally definitive.

Thank you for the awesome video...

[@Hulk_Mania]

best videos I ever see good job ....

[@ApostolicosDelNombre1]

my car has a sound transmission. runs well with all changes. but starts sounding when I accelerate the car. The sound came on the torque inside of the transmission. what`s the problem.? that will be the transmission mount?sounds like scraping when accelerated on the big part of the transmission (torque) what happen if the mount its bad? the torque sounds when I accelerated? please I need Help my car is a thunderbird 89 or its something loose? I have learned a lot of your vids thanks

[@albertrafuna2071]

Great Video! Super informative

[@TheBumbino]

Great video explains everything perfectly.

[@reallystockmustang7178]

Question, i rebuilt a 6r80 the forward clutch spring was put in reversed causing the clutches to burn and overheat the trans. It was several miles before it CEL. I removed and disassembled oil was burnt clutches were gone. It was a new converter. Do you think it would still be good to use.

[@juyal8082]

Excellent video, very well explained thanks

[@eric8188]

Annoying background music while i am listening to class!

[@johnvolstad5870]

That is a very good video.

[@tcrvotchbu]

why the music? it's only disturbing the explanation.

[@bryanmartinez6600]

ron gaon that's how loud my sound system is all the way to my house

[@elihappinesspie]

I like it

[@cgrobe21]

Great way of explaining it.

[@oibal60]

Beautiful explanation!

[@Skylet_Moon]

This is good to know, and thanks a lot, well this is what am talking about.

[@moonspots01]

Excellent! Excellent! Excellent!

Cool demo!

[@headshot992]

Wow. Very informative, thanks!!!

[@my_name_is_chef4856]

Can I use a lock-up torque converter for an off road application? Such as crawling and stuff. I'm stuck with an automatic but want the advantages of a manual. Better control and ability to tell when the wheels are spinning.

[@ebperformance8436]

I think mine is shot, the problem started with a small leak....but a major leak when the car was parked, it also made weird noises when In reverse or drive....the noise would go away when I’m neutral....I removed the transmission and checked the torc converter. Do the stator gear” inside the torc converter” suppose to spin in both directions ? Mine does....one way makes a nasty squeaking noise....I found no debris inside the transmission” because I stopped driving it soon as I seen the leaks and sounds....I purchased a new torc converter and seal. But I want to make sure the torc converter is the issue.

[@glenbjack]

good show!!

[@rickt.3630]

This was awesome

[@zix9924]

good video.

[@TheAnothernow]

The explanation was awesome but the music was annoying. Gave me a headache. Trying to listen to the explanation with the pounding music is not the best feeling. Loose the music and you have a great presentation. love and bless.

[@overlordofmars]

I have an Allison 545 Transmission. It supposedly does not have a lock up clutch. So is it just running off the turbine effect ?

[@MrGarner76]

QUALITY VID..HAD A RECENT PROB WITH MY 1988 CAMARO IROC 5.7 4 SPEED WITH OVERDRIVE....AFTER A RECENT BURNOUT ..I FOUND I HAD NO DRIVE (NOT GOOD) IF I REV THE ENGINE FASTER IT SLOWLY PICKS UP DRIVE....ANY IDEAS IF THIS COULD BE A TORQUE CONVERTER PROB...THANKS, ADAM

[@hisham202]

so, this means that transmission fluid is very critical element! it should not got hot, it should not be kept for extra miles. Otherwise the clutches in the TC and the transmission itself will go bad! am I right??

[@Jupitermustangmike]

Very good vid_thanks

[@Ultimate677]

What happens if you can tap into the lock up clutch solenoid so that you can keep it switched on permanently. Would I still be able to change gears and would the car be able to get out of gear i.e. neutral ? Thank you for the great video very interesting !!

[@Burban12]

Ultimate there’d be no benefits to that. You could just run full manual valve body and not have to switch to neutral consistently. If the transmission was in lock up 24/7 you might as well buy a manual. You couldn’t benefit from slip like running a 3600 stall converter. You can floor it and it just take off around 3600 rpm.

[@Ultimate677]

Michael Capranica Thanks Michael, I had a gm5l40e which came up torque converter fault dropped the pan and saw metal particles obviously lock up clutch failed and slipping. To fix the problem I disconnected the lock up solenoid and connected a separate lock up solenoid to the joiner to mimic the resistance. Car driving fine i'm not using the lock up clutch any more just using tourque converter hope it lasts have you ever heard of this before done ? Thanks

[@Burban12]

Ultimate yeah actually that’s how they all used to be. Lock up came out to increase mpg and decrease heat in the transmission. If you’re running without lock up I’d strong suggest a transmission cooler and guage because the transmission would be consistently slipping and slip causes more heat. And of course heat equals faster break down time of parts

[@Ultimate677]

Michael Capranica, Fair enough thanks for your help Michael cheers
