The torque converter is between the engine and transmission. It's a device that allows the torque of the engine to be passed through from the engine to the transmission and still allow the engine to run when the vehicle is stopped.

Can you bolt up a TH350 transmission to a jeep 2.5ltr motor?

It will "bolt up", but there is an issue with the torque converter. You will need to either have a standard torque converter machined/welded, or you will need to find the special torque converter that came on a 151/TH350 setup from the factory. I do not know if one actually exists, but I am looking.


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.

Torque converter lock up?

If yours is on constantly or won't come on there are several possibilities. There is a relay, usually inside the transmission, that controls the lock-up solenoid inside the torque converter. If the lock-up won't release, the problem is often that relay. The good part is, it's a lot less expensive than a transmission rebuild and if you can find a reputable transmission shop (that's the bad part, they're difficult to find) they will replace the faulty relay at a reasonable price. On the other hand, it can also be the torque converter, in which case the transmission has to come out and they'll need to replace the torque converter. Then you'll get the speech, "While it's out it's a good idea to..." If it WON'T lock up when going down the road, it can be a sensor, the relay or, yes, the torque converter.
