Torque converter automatic transmission SsangYong Kyron
The torque converter is the main component of an automatic transmission (AT), ensuring smooth gear changes and transfer of power from the engine to the transmission.
Features of the SsangYong Kyron automatic transmission torque converter:
* Type: single stage, interlocking
*Diameter: about 300mm
* Number of blades: 16
* Materials: steel, aluminum, composite materials
Torque converter functions:
* Torque Transmission: Converts high speed and low torque from the engine into low speed and high torque for the transmission.
* Friction Lock: Provides a direct mechanical connection between the engine and transmission at high speeds, which improves efficiency.
* Vibration Damping: Absorbs vibrations from the engine, providing smooth gear shifting.
* Overload Protection: Prevents transmission damage in case of excessive load.
Typical signs of a faulty torque converter in a SsangYong Kyron automatic transmission:
* Shift Slip: Uneven acceleration or speed fluctuations during gear changes.
* Increased fuel consumption: Inefficient power transmission due to a faulty torque converter.
* Vibrations and Noises: Worn torque converter blades or bearings can cause vibrations and unusual noises.
*Transmission Fluid Leaks: Damaged seals or cracks in the torque converter housing can lead to transmission fluid leaks.
Maintenance of the SsangYong Kyron automatic transmission torque converter:
Regular transmission maintenance is recommended, including replacing the transmission fluid and filter every 60,000-80,000 km. If signs of torque converter malfunction are observed, contact a qualified service center for diagnosis and repair.
