Torque Converter: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The torque converter is a four element assembly. The torque converter contains an impeller, a turbine, a reactor, and a torque converter clutch (TCC) for increased fuel economy. It couples the engine to the turbine shaft assembly, provides torque multiplication and absorbs engine shock of gear shifting.
