What is A torque converter?
a major part of an automatic transmission... A torque converter is what couples the engine to the transmission. It acts a little bit like a clutch and allow the engine to drive the transmission. At slow engine speeds, like at idle, it slips so the engine will not stall while the transmission is in gear. As engine speed (RPM) increases it allows the engine to drive the transmission. This is just the basic idea of what a torque converter does.
Where is the torque converter on the Toyota 4Runner?
Inbetween the engine and transmission, located in the bell housing. To access it, you will need to drop the drive shaft and pull the transmission out. The torque converter will come out with the transmission.
What is needed to change a stick shift to automatic drive?
depending on car, u will need new computer, torque converter, transmission, auto shifter, bell housing (if not included with transmission). The last answer was backwards giving you info for changing an automatic into a standard.
Why does a vehicle with automatic transmission use a light drive plate instead of a flywheel?
The fluid filled torque converter acts as a heavy flywheel when bolted to the thin flex plate.
What is the Model of 2001 2500 HD 4x4 automatic transmission?
It will be a 4l80E Transmission. (4 speed automatic with over drive and lock up converter)
My 1999 tracker 1.6 will start no prob drive for a bit then when you come to a stop it stalls not all the time but a lot what is it anyone?
is this car an automatic? take car to an automatic transmission shop. sounds like the torque converter is about worn out
How do you get the torque converter on a 1996 sts to slide the last inch or so onto the pump shaft?
You have to turn the torque converter back and forth while pushing in on it. The last thing to engage is the front pump drive lugs. This has to be done before installing the transmission in the car (or bolting it to the engine block) -- the transmission and torque converter are installed as one single assembly after the torque converter is installed into the transmission.
Does manual gear shift offer greater power than an automatic transmission car?
The engine has the same power no matter the transmission. However with an automatic transmission more of the available power is lost due to the torque converter and the transfer of fluid to torque. But in modern cars today it is very little, so get an automatic if that is what you want. A manual transmission does provide more power to the drive wheels but it comes at a penalty. You must shift it yourself.
Why does an automatic transmission car start shuddering and sometimes cut out when you slow down at a junction or making turns or in reverse but the Oil and transmission fluid levels are ok?
That would depend on the make and model of the car, but it is usually a torque converter that needs replacing, or if it has an electronic torque converter switch, the switch is usually bad and needs replacing. If yours has a torque converter switch, unplug the connector and drive the car. If the transmission stops doing what ever it was doing, put in a new sensor and plug it back in.
What is transmission fluid used for?
Transmission fluid, like in automatic transmissions of cars, is used to transfer the power of the engine to the drive shaft. It's a hydraulic fluid, and the transmission is a hydraulic pump and a hydraulic drive all in one. The motor drives the pump (the torque converter), and it compresses the transmission fluid which in turn drives the clutch assembly.
How many solenoids does a 2000 ram 1500 have in a 2 wheel drive automatic transmission with a lockup converter?
There are four. Starter solenoid, is built on the starter. Governor pressure solenoid, overdrive solenoid, and torque converter solenoid are on the valve body inside the transmission.There are four.

How BMW motors work?
BMW motors connect to the transmission either via a clutch (manual transmission) or torque converter (automatic transmission). The rotation of the engine causes the transmission to turn. The transmission henceforth outputs the power to the drive (rear) wheels which propel the car when it is placed on some sort of pavement.
