CONVERTER

Product Description:

Part number 227379 is a torque converter for Maserati GranCabrio, GranTurismo and Quattroporte M139 (2005-2013) models. It is a crucial component of the automatic transmission system, responsible for transferring rotational force from the engine to the transmission.

Here is a more detailed explanation of the purpose of a torque converter:

• Enhances torque multiplication: When the engine starts, the torque output is relatively low. However, the transmission requires a higher torque input to start the vehicle moving. The torque converter acts as a multiplier, increasing the torque input to the transmission, enabling smooth acceleration from a standstill.

• Damping vibrations: Torque converters mitigate the transmission of vibrations from the engine to the drivetrain. This helps maintain a smooth and comfortable ride.

• Fluid coupling: Torque converters also function as a fluid coupling, allowing for a seamless transfer of power between the engine and transmission. This eliminates abrupt gear changes and ensures a smooth driving experience.

• Stall speed control: When the vehicle comes to a complete stop, the torque converter prevents the engine from stalling. It maintains a connection between the engine and transmission, allowing for a quick and smooth restart.

In summary, the torque converter plays a vital role in the automatic transmission system, ensuring smooth acceleration, vibration damping, fluid coupling, and stall speed control. It is an essential component for a comfortable and enjoyable driving experience.
