Torque Converter Components
The torque converter consists of three elements: the pump assembly, the stator assembly, and the turbine
assembly. The engine through the f ywheel drives the pump assembly. The turbine assembly is the output element.
The stator assembly is the reaction (torque-multiplying) element.
The converter pump cover and ring gear are splined to the f ywheel of the vehicle engine, which transfers power
from the engine to the converter components. A turbine shaft extends from the bevel gear assembly through the
input housing and into the torque converter. This turbine shaft transmits power from the torque converter to the
bevel gear assembly. Refer to Figure 5 for an exploded view of the major components of the torque converter.
Input Housing Assembly
Covers the bevel gear assembly, the hydrostatic pump, and the motor steer control assembly. Houses the torque
converter components. Contains port for steer shaft and access port for steering adjustment. Refer to Figure 5 for
an exploded view that includes the input housing assembly.
