Product type
A lock up torque converter is a type of automotive component that connects the engine to the transmission in a vehicle, allowing for efficient power transfer. It features a clutch mechanism that locks the converter's turbine to the engine's flywheel at higher speeds, reducing slip and improving fuel efficiency. Typically made from durable materials like aluminum and steel, lock up torque converters are designed to withstand high temperatures and pressures within the transmission system.
| Material | Aluminum and steel |
| Typical diameter range | 10 to 12 inches |
| Input torque capacity | Up to 500 lb-ft |
| Lock-up engagement speed | Approximately 45 to 60 mph |
| Weight | 15 to 30 lbs |
When selecting a lock up torque converter, consider the vehicle's engine specifications, including horsepower and torque ratings. It's important to specify the desired lock-up engagement speed and any performance upgrades that may affect the converter's operation. Additionally, inquire about compatibility with the existing transmission system and any necessary modifications. Quantities may vary based on the intended use, such as replacement parts or performance enhancements.
