A converter clutch system stuck in the off position means that the clutch within the torque converter is not engaging when it should, preventing the vehicle from achieving optimal fuel efficiency and performance. This can lead to increased engine RPMs at cruising speeds, resulting in poor fuel economy and potential transmission overheating. Common causes include electrical issues, hydraulic failures, or problems with the clutch itself. Diagnosing and repairing the issue typically requires professional attention.
