The National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) is hosting a free webinar for service technicians on Thursday, Oct. 28 at 4 p.m. EST entitled “Torque Converter Operation and Diagnosis.”
From mechanical energy to hydraulic energy to multiplied mechanical energy, learn to understand the principals of two-way and three-way torque converters. Niel Speetjens of ZF Aftermarket will detail the functions from fluid flow to lock-up and from start-up to coupling phase. A look inside the operating ZF torque converter will help improve diagnostic skills and help participants understand wear patterns.
After completing this session, the webinar attendees will be able to:
• Understand the principals about a fluid clutch and torque converter
• Describe the three components that are used in a torque converter
• Understand hydro-dynamic fluid flow, torque multiplication stage and coupling stage
• Understand lock-up clutch operation and regulation
• Explain common failures and malfunctions in torque converter and lock-up systems
After registering, a confirmation email will be sent containing information about joining the webinar. Those who are not sure if they can attend are encouraged to register as they will receive a follow-up email with details on how to attend a recorded session, if available.
