What is a Torque Converter?
The torque converters main function is transferring torque from the engine to the transmission. It is a fluid coupling bolted to a flex plate that is spun by the crankshaft. The torque converter is mounted between the transmission and engine. The torque converter plays a pivotal role in your vehicle’s performance so we take its upkeep seriously here at All Drive Transmission in Des Moines.

Anatomy of the Torque Converter
Torque converters have a pump inside the cover that features a series of blades similar to those found in a propeller. By spinning in unison with the crankshaft these blades force transmission fluid onto the impeller which is another blade assembly. The pressure created inside the transmission dictates the gear and speed of the vehicle.

Average Cost to Replace Torque Converter

This price varies based off the year, make and model of the vehicle because the layout of the engine and transmission will determine how long it takes a mechanic to properly repair or replace.
