A Closer Look at Torque Converters
Channel: Counterman
Date: 2024-03-21

As the automatic transmission itself evolved, the standard fluid coupling was replaced by the torque convertor. The advantage of a torque convertor is that it has an additional component installed between the impeller and turbine called a stator.  The stator redirects the flow of the fluid exiting the turbine in the direction which the impeller is already spinning, which multiplies the torque output of the converter.
