Is torque converter fluid filtered?
The Torque Converter uses the same fluid as the transmission. The transmission has a filter. So, in effect...the answer is "Yes" torque converter fluid is filtered. However, the torque converter has no special fluid of its own.
How does a torque converter amplify the torque?
The stator inside the torque converter directs the fluid at an angle to trans. part of the torque converter amplifying the force on the vanes.
Comparison between fluid coupling and torque converter?
They are of similar design, but a fluid coupling simply transmits torque (with some frictional loss), while a torque converter amplifies torque, similar to a reduction gear.
How is fluid supplied to torque converter?
By the front pump.
How do you find out if I need more transmission fluid in my torque converter and transmission on 2002 Pontiac Grand Am?
If your dipstick reads "Full", then you do not need to add any fluid. Be certain to follow manufacturer instructions when checking fluid level. Your torque converter is part of the transmission, when speaking of fluid, so if the transmission is full, the torque converter is also.
Why does the torque converter chatter when you drive?
It can be the lock up on the torque converter not functioning properly. It can also be low of fluid. Check the transmission fluid level. If the fluid level is good, you need to seek professional help.
How much transmission fluid does the torque converter hold?
Depends on the vehicle.
Should there be tranny fluid in the torque converter on a 2001 Dodge Intrepid?
yes
Fluid capacity for 350 turbo transmission torque converter?

How do you take torque converter off of engine so you can mount the motor on a stand?
The Torque Converter is part of the transmission, not part of the engine. The torque converter needs to come off with the transmission. You need to remove the starter to access the torque converter bolts/nuts and separate it from the flex plate. Besides loosing all of the fluid in the torque converter, you stand to damage converter seals and/or the pump if the converter isn't properly installed in the transmission.
How much Transmission fluid is needed in a Chevy TH350?
It takes 12quarts of transmission fluid with torque converter drained.
Why does car lose acceleration uphill?
Automatic transmissions lose acceleration driving uphill because of the torque converter. The engine turns one side of the torque converter and the other side is splined into the input set of the planetary gears. The torque converter uses fluid to turn the input shaft in the transmission. When the transmission is locked into gear and going uphill the torque converter has to work against power losses from the tires on the road and when the engine is working harder the torque converter cuts or "shears" the fluid and it causes the transmission to overheat. Always make sure you have enough fluid in the transmission
