Torque Converters

Torque converters , also known as torque converters, are key components of automatic transmissions. They enable smooth transfer of power from the engine to the gearbox, eliminating the need to use a clutch. Thanks to their operation, automatic transmissions provide driving comfort and efficiency. At Global Parts automotive store, you will find a wide selection of used car parts , including torque converters , ideal for BMW , Audi , Mercedes , Volkswagen , Mini and more .

What functions do hydrokinetic converters perform?

Torque converters play a key role in the operation of automatic transmissions:

• Torque Transfer – Enables smooth transfer of power from the engine to the gearbox, eliminating jerks when changing gears.
• Vibration dampening – Reduces vibrations generated by the engine, improving driving comfort.
• Adjusting the RPM – Thanks to the hydraulic clutch function, they regulate the RPM between the engine and the gearbox.

Why is it worth taking care of hydrokinetic transmissions ?

Wear or damage to the torque converters can lead to problems with smooth driving and automatic transmission operation. Typical symptoms of failure include:

• Jerks when changing gears – This may indicate problems with the torque converter.
• Power Loss – Faulty gears can lead to a decrease in power transfer efficiency.
• Noises during operation – Whistling or buzzing sounds may indicate worn bearings or damaged internal components.
• Gearbox Temperature Increase – Transmission problems can lead to the system overheating.

At Global Parts we offer original used torque converters that have undergone extensive quality testing, ensuring their durability and reliability.

How to choose the right torque converters ?

When selecting torque converters, there are several key aspects to consider:

• Matching to the vehicle model – Each automatic transmission has its own specific technical requirements. At Global Parts you will find torque converters perfectly matched to BMW , Audi , Mercedes , Volkswagen , Mini and others .
• Technical condition – Used gears should be free from oil leaks and mechanical damage.
• Transmission Type – Make sure the model you choose is compatible with your gearbox.

Why choose used torque converters ?

Used car parts , such as hydrokinetic gears , are an economical solution that allows you to save money while maintaining high quality. By choosing used gears , you gain:

• Lower costs – Used items are much cheaper than new ones, but offer just as high quality.
• Ecology – Recycling car parts supports environmental protection and reduces waste.
• Wide range – In our shop you will find torque converters for the most popular car brands.

How to take care of hydrokinetic gears ?

In order for torque converters to function reliably for a long time, it is worth following a few rules:

• Regular inspections – Check the transmission oil level and condition of the transmission during periodic technical inspections.
• Avoid overloading the drivetrain – Proper driving technique reduces the risk of excessive gear wear.
• Replace damaged components on time – If you experience problems with ride smoothness or noise, replace damaged components immediately.
