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.
The transmission fluid capacity of a 2004 Chevy Malibu is approximately 7.5 quarts. The actual capacity varies depending on the amount of fluid in the torque converter.
Dry fill is about 9 quarts.
Fluid and filter change: 7 qts From dry, including torque converter: 13 qts
The total capacity including the torque converter is 11 1/2 quarts.
Including the torque converter, aprox 10 US qts.
9.1 quarts including the torque converter
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.
The total fluid is 9 quarts. When draining the fluid only about 4 quarts will come out as the rest stays in the torque converter.
The transmission fluid capacity of a 1974 Chevy Nova is 10 quarts. This includes a large amount of fluid which is stored in the transmission and torque converter which is never fully drained.
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.
