would the torque converter clutch locking up be considered the “passing
gear”?
The VW had a three speed manual with both a clutch and a torque converter.
The shifter had a pressure sensitive switch that disengaged the clutch when
the driver placed his/her hand on the shifter. A vacuum operated servo
disengaged the clutch allowing crunch free shifting in response to the
signal from the pressure sensor on the shifter.
great demo ,thank you
The best video there is about understanding a torque converter
Mine started to go on my 2000 Camry with 140K miles, Price quoted was
$2500, I got another car instead.
I told my mechanic about an engine noise going uphill. He stepped on the
brakes and then the gas for several seconds to simulate load. I was so
uncomfortable with it. How bad is this?
That fan demo was genius! Very good job explaining this!

I had a 2009 Mits Raider pickup (restyled Dodge Dakota) which I brought it
into the dealership a number of times regarding the way it would jerk when
shifting. The trans finally went into limp mode right after the 60,000 mile
warranty was up. They did me right and rebuilt the transmission and
installed a new torque converter but, as it turns out, the reason it was
jerking so hard was because the TCC was not disengaging properly, and
eventually lunched the transmission.
excellent explanation!
So automatic have torque converts and manual have clutches?
you can also feel the torque converter clutch disengage and reingage if
your driving you can let off the gas then slightly get back on the gas and
look at the RPM’s and it will go up then down slighty.
Someone should make a stator that you can manually change it’s pitch as
your driving…
Ahh, okay. So here’s a question, then. Why can’t you have a torque
converter as your coupling for a synchroed manual transmission, instead of
a manual clutch (so that you could do your launching and braking as if you
had a fully automatic system)?
“Well uh, because then you wouldn’t have anything to actively disengage for
a gear shift, so you’d be forced to float all your shifts.”
Yeah, okay, but hang on now. True, TCs never fully disengage, but then why
wouldn’t they have enough slop (assuming that you’re not locked up yet, or
assuming that if you were to quickly let off the throttle, maybe the
converter would unlock) to allow a given synchro ring in the manual
transmission adjust the speed of the input shaft to match (taking advantage
of that “slushiness” in an unlocked converter) so that you could still
shift your gear easily?
This was really informative. I learned something about torque converters
today. Thanks!
Vortex flow for torque multiplication
Rotary flow for coasting
Thanks for the video. Lots if my questions were answered in full. Very
informing!
great video ERIC.Keep it up.
Hatt’s off and thank you very much.i have never seen such a great
explanation.
Hey eric, Love your videos. I have a 99 crv and it has a rebuilt tranny.
Do you think maybe by installing the torque converter incorrectly can cause
slippage on third gear?
So for most automatic cars, do they all have the same torque converters or
similar ones? I think I can relate to 8:00, when I come to a stop or slow
down, the rpm gauge starts jumping up and down trying to keep the car
alive. I figure this part with most likely be the problem, there is no
power transferring, how do I fix this?
Absolute genius! Been thinking about cars as a career for a while now. If
college can do what you can do in this video, I’VE FOUND MY CALLING!
Thank you for making this video
Great video and explanations with the fan. I’ve always thought of TCs like
jet engines too lol. One thing I don’t get is how does the TC clutch know
that you’re in the last gear and lock up? Wouldn’t it be able to lock up
in any gear depending on speed if you stop accelerating, since it’s really
just mechanically activated?
You did it again.. thank god for ETCG.
sooo the torque converter is the reason why automatic transmission cars are
slower when accelerating than manual transmission. great video! btw. you
explained it very well.
If you have gear 1,2,3 and no overdrive. Does it means the torque converter
clutch is faulty. Given all solenoids are working?
A very detail explanation, thank you~!
Torque Converters Explained -EricTheCarGuy
13:38 Happened to me man!!!
I saw some animations and stuff about this but I didn’t understand what the
stator does. Now I know! it actually creates resistance, so the engine is
forced to take the power to the less resistance way (the turbine) and then
it starts moving. I can’t leave without saying that the demostration about
the fan was absolutely awesome. Thank you, sir!
Ok so heres my story with question I need answered . I got a new motor
built and it got over built too big of a cam was put in and when I picked
it up he said I need a 2800 stall converter. Somehow between the builder
and my nephew I put in charge of what I wanted got thrown out the window.
Im not looking to race this car as its a convertible. What would happen if
I put a lower stall converter say like 1800? Im putting a 700r4 in as well
as different rear set of gears in the rear end not sure what yet tho. Would
it just be slower off the line? but still ok to cruise around town ?
Okay so my understanding if the torque converter middle peace with free
wheel and lick at dead stop is not working than you have to double rpm to
make it move normal? Mines fucked up but drivable and I’m trying to
understand what’s wrong I have to rev way high for it to slowly take off so
is the middle start off price the thing that’s not working I betting it’s
stuck In free wheel appreciate the education
Eric what do you eat..Why,s my brain not like your mate.
Thank´s you for the best video Amazing wow
Eric this video was very interesting and really good . I always learn
something from ur videos and thanx for sharing.
Awesome video!! Very informative. :-)
