Automatic Transmission Torque Converter Seal

The torque converter seal is the main part that lets the automatic transmission function correctly. The seal allows the fluid-filled component to manage the fluid and prevents any leaks.

Automatic transmission torque converter significance

The torque converter seal is made similar to other seals that are in your vehicle. It uses an outer ring that is created from alloy and it also has an inner ring that is put in place with a thin spring to retain tension on the seal. The seal is a vital component because it keeps the automatic transmission fluid from leaking out and keeps any dirt or debris from accessing the internal components of the transmission.
