Torque Converters are an essential part of your automatic transmission. They not only allow your vehicle to come to a complete stop without stalling the engine, but also provide more torque when accelerating out of a stop, ultimately, giving you more control over your machine’s movements. Stators are located at the center of the Torque Converter. They redirect the fluid returning from the turbine before it hits the pump again, increasing the efficiency of the Torque Converter.
