Torque Converter Description: Construction
- The torque converter, which includes a torque converter clutch mechanism, houses the turbine runner, the pump impeller, the stator, and the torque converter clutch. The torque converter clutch is spline-fitted to the turbine hub. During torque converter clutch engagement, it slides over the turbine hub and is pressed tightly together with the converter cover. A torsion spring is installed in the torque converter clutch to absorb engine torque friction when the torque converter clutch is pressed onto the torque converter.
