Solid-state
Not being stoned this time around i have decided to get info on the ''solid-state'' torque converters you can get for the automatic trannys.
impelling losses within the torque converter reduce efficiency and generate waste heat. In modern automotive applications, this problem is commonly avoided by use of a lock-up clutch that physically links the impeller and turbine, effectively changing the converter into a purely mechanical coupling. The result is no slippage, and virtually no power loss.
so im looking around for some shops trying to get more info before ANYTHING is done. Anyone els looked into these?
