Torque Converter Remanufacturing: Precision and Performance at Industrial Reman

At Industrial Reman, remanufacturing is more than a process—it’s a commitment to restoring critical components to peak performance. Among our specialties is the remanufacturing of torque converters, a core part of any automatic transmission system. Leveraging decades of mechanical expertise, advanced equipment, and rigorous quality standards, we ensure that each remanufactured torque converter performs like new—or better.

What is a Torque Converter?

A torque converter is a fluid coupling that transfers rotating power from the engine to the transmission. It's essential for vehicles and machinery that require smooth, controlled shifting and efficient power delivery. Given its complexity and constant workload, the torque converter must be robust and precisely engineered—which makes professional remanufacturing critical when replacements are needed.

Our Remanufacturing Process

Each torque converter we handle undergoes a detailed, multi-stage process to ensure reliability, performance, and longevity.

1. Initial Evaluation and Pre-Cleaning

We begin with a full visual inspection to identify damage or signs of wear. Old transmission fluid is drained and analyzed for contamination. All identifying data is documented before the unit proceeds to the next stage.

2. Precision Case Separation

Unlike some components, torque converters are sealed by welds. Our technicians use precision cutting tools to separate the housing while preserving alignment markers for perfect reassembly.

3. Complete Internal Disassembly

All internal components—including the turbine, stator, pump (impeller), lockup clutch, bearings, and thrust washers—are removed and tagged for individual cleaning and evaluation.

4. Deep Cleaning and Contaminant Removal

We utilize industrial-grade hot tanks and ultrasonic cleaning systems to remove all grease, sludge, and metallic debris. This ensures every part is clean and ready for detailed inspection.

5. Component Inspection and Testing

Each part is carefully examined:

• Turbine and Pump: Checked for cracks, bent blades, and warping.
• Stator Clutch: Verified for proper one-way function.
• Bearings and Bushings: Measured for wear and replaced if needed.
• Lockup Clutch and Surfaces: Evaluated for wear and resurfaced or replaced with upgraded materials.

6. Precision Reassembly and Upgrades

We install OE-spec or upgraded components as needed, including:

• Hardened turbine hubs
• High-friction lockup clutches
• Enhanced thrust bearings

All internal components are reassembled in perfect alignment to manufacturer specifications.

7. Case Welding and Sealing

Using high-strength welding equipment, we reseal the torque converter along its original weld line. Our welds are inspected using non-destructive methods to ensure structural integrity and leak-free operation.

8. Dynamic Balancing

We perform dynamic balancing to ensure smooth rotation, reduce vibration, and extend transmission life. Our balance tolerances meet or exceed OEM standards.

9. Leak and Pressure Testing

Every torque converter is pressure-tested to verify that no leaks exist and that the clutch operates correctly under hydraulic conditions.

10. Final Inspection and Coating

Before leaving our facility, each unit undergoes a final quality check and is coated with a protective finish. We then package the product securely for delivery, complete with a warranty and installation documentation.
