The stator assembly (Fig. 13) is mounted on a stationary shaft which is an integral part of the oil pump. The stator is located between the impeller and
turbine within the torque converter case (Fig. 14). The stator contains an over-running clutch, which allows the stator to rotate only in a clockwise
direction. When the stator is locked against the over-running clutch, the torque multiplication feature of the torque converter is operational.
TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH (TCC)
Fig. 15
The TCC (Fig. 15) was installed to improve the efficiency of the torque converter that is lost to the slippage of the fluid coupling. Although the fluid
coupling provides smooth, shock-free power transfer, it is natural for all fluid couplings to slip. If the impeller and turbine were mechanically locked
