What does it mean to “rebuild” a torque converter?
When there are problems with a car’s automatic transmission, sometimes it’s the torque converter. It could be fluid loss, bent vanes, or bad bearings among other problems. We have a local shop with decades of experience do a very thorough rebuild that is beyond OEM specs. The technology in welding has progressed immensely since our cars were manufactured in the 1960's and 1970's. The number one area of failure on old torque converters are the vanes due to cracking and bending. When you buy one of our units with a 5 year warranty, it should be the last converter your car will ever need.
