| The stator rides in between
the impeller and turbine halves of the converter. |
Thrust bearings go in
between each component as the converter is assembled.
|
 |
 |
| A billet steel hub keeps
the turbine and the input shaft working together. Added
strength is required in race applications to prevent the
input shaft from stripping out the turbine hub splines.
|
The turbine unit is further
strengthened by the addition of spot-welded and furnace
brazed inlet blade supports. |
 |
 |
| The rotation of the turbine
in the torque converter is what turns the input shaft
of the transmission. |
The cover pilot is crucial
to prevent eccentric running of the converter. Pilots
are available in different thicknesses to compensate for
added thickness of motor plates. |
 |
 |
| Investment cast drive
lugs add strength to the cover. |
A pressed in guide bushing
inside the cover centers the turbine assembly |
