Buyer's checklist
What to check before buying a used torque converter
- Match stall speed rating, flexplate bolt pattern diameter, and pilot hub dimensions to your engine and transmission combination.
- Inspect turbine neck and pump drive hub for scoring, bluing from extreme heat, or worn torque converter clutch friction lining metal debris.
- Shake the unit or inspect fluid drained from it for metallic glint or dark burnt oil indicating internal clutch failure.
- Check input shaft spline teeth and stator splines inside the hub to ensure none are stripped or rounded off.
