Torque converter automatic transmission Pajero Sport 2
The torque converter is an important component of the Pajero Sport 2 automatic transmission. Here are its main characteristics and functions:
Specifications:
*Type: Single Stage Torque Converter
*Diameter: About 270mm
*Height: About 100mm
*Weight: About 15kg
Functions:
* Transferring Engine Power to Transmission: The torque converter transfers torque from the engine to the transmission, allowing for smooth gear changes.
*Torque Multiplier: At low engine speeds, the torque converter multiplies torque to help the vehicle start and accelerate.
* Vibration Dampening: The torque converter absorbs vibration from the engine, resulting in smoother shifting and a more comfortable ride.
* Overload protection: If the transmission is overloaded, the torque converter slips, protecting the transmission from damage.
* Transmission Oil Cooling: The torque converter helps circulate transmission fluid throughout the transmission, dissipating heat and lubricating components.
Device:
The torque converter consists of the following main components:
* Pump impeller: Driven by a motor and creates fluid pressure.
* Turbine impeller: Drives the gearbox and converts hydraulic power into mechanical power.
* Reactor: Directs fluid flow to increase torque.
*Lock-Up Clutch: Interlocks the pump and turbine impellers, creating a direct connection at high engine speeds.
Service:
The torque converter usually does not require regular maintenance. However, repair or replacement may be required if there are leaks, damage, or excessive wear. It is recommended to check the transmission fluid level and change it according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
