Transmission of Torque
When the pump impeller speed increases, centrifugal force causes the fluid to start flowing outward from the center of the pump impeller. As the pump impeller speed rises further, Read more Principle of Torque Converter

What is a Torque Converter?
The torque converter both transmits and multiplies the torque from the engine using the ATF (Automatic Transaxle Fluid) into the transaxle (planetary gear unit) as the medium.
The torque converter consists Read more What is a Torque Converter?
