What is the working principle of a torque converter?
2025-11-20
What is the operating principle of a torque converter? The solid housing of a hydraulic torque converter contains four components: the turbine, the stator, the pump impeller, and transmission fluid. The working principle of the hydraulic torque converter is as follows: the pump impeller is driven to rotate by the engine, which in turn sets the fluid into rotational motion around its axis, imparting both velocity (kinetic energy) and pressure. The fluid’s velocity depends on the pump impeller’s radius and rotational speed.
How to choose a Dana torque converter?
2025-11-20
How should you choose a Dana torque converter? It is typically located between the engine’s flexplate and the transmission. In a manual transmission, the equivalent component is the mechanical clutch. The torque converter performs functions such as torque multiplication and lock-up. When operating in torque‑converter mode, it tends to generate heat. So, how do you select the right Dana torque converter?

The transmission is a critical component of a vehicle; when the Dana Spicer transmission valve body fails, it can impair the car’s normal operation. So, do you know the key symptoms of a damaged Dana Spicer transmission valve body? Below, we’ll provide a detailed overview.
What causes abnormal noises in the Dana Spicer transmission?
2025-11-20
Some car owners encounter this situation: they report that their transmission is making strange noises and they’re hesitant to drive. So why does a transmission produce unusual sounds? Let’s take a look at the common causes of abnormal noises in Dana‑Spicer transmissions.
Dana Spicer transmission—common types of transmissions in everyday life
2025-11-20
When you’re choosing a car, you’re bound to feel puzzled by the transmission options available—so many types, which one is right for you? Today, there are three common kinds: continuously variable transmissions (CVTs), dual-clutch transmissions, and conventional gearboxes. Next, we’ll take a closer look at Dana‑Spicer transmissions—the most frequently encountered type in everyday driving.
Causes of Excessive Oil Temperature in a Torque Converter
2025-11-20
Overheating of the working oil in a torque converter is a common malfunction. When this occurs, the loader becomes inoperable. Moreover, excessively high oil temperatures accelerate the oxidation and foaming of the hydraulic fluid, compromising its lubricating properties for moving parts, leading to seal degradation and impairing the machine’s normal operation. Based on practical examples, this paper provides a detailed analysis of several root causes of such failures and proposes corresponding corrective measures.
