    Really enjoying the content. Being Europe and growing up driving manuals, I used to think automatic transmissions were boring and for lazy people who couldn’t shift well. You’ve really turned me on to the engineering involved. Thank you.

    I may never run any thing close to this but the way you explain how these work and are but together is very interesting to me and expands my understanding of torque converters....thank you.

    Great video series. Keep up the good work. You are a excellent teacher. Thanks for all the information. I have a much better grasp on torque converters now.

    I have a question about a converter issue. What would cause a converter to stall an engine when put into gear? It's a new single disk lock up converter, lock up is not being commanded. The stator spins with the input shaft freely when it's on the bench, when in the car it stalls then engine when put into reverse or drive.

    This is probably a dumb question. I was wondering if a chassis dynamometer can measure torque multiplication in the torque converter?

    This is so far out of my experience its not funny but great, interesting video for us casuals too. Thanks.

    So my 1300 hp car won’t be using a lockup. It’s nice to know what the big boys use though

    Would be nice too have a cheaper version for the lesser powered engines 2000-3500 Hp range for the not so top dogs But just love the video's

      This is what's needed for the lesser power engines. X275, LDR, everything around the power levels you mentioned that are running lock-up are running one of these high dollar packages whether it be from M&M, ATI, Coan, Rossler, ProFormance, Hughes, etc. The cost to manufacture these parts is quite exorbitant, and profit margin to sell these products is very slim. The only way to cut manufacturing costs so that sale prices can drop is to have the parts manufactured overseas, and none of the companies mentioned are going to do that any time soon.

      Keep it all manufactured in US 👌I’m from Europe, I dont want anything from the east, I will rather pay a little more, and have it manufactured in my Home country.. 👍🏻
