do torque converters go bad?

Torque converter seals can get damaged for several reasons. But once they are damaged, you will experience fluid leaks. When you experience fluid leaks, you aren't retaining the amount of transmission fluid; the torque converter needs to transfer the power from the engine to the transmission.

The implication certainly is that USB ports can go bad. My guess is that it's more 'dirt' related than anything else; the connectors are getting a little dirty over time since they are exposed to the elements. The software can get confused, certainly, but that's normally something you can clean up.

The bearings won't allow the wheel to turn freely, which exacerbates the problem. It also puts stress and strain on the hub, the CV joint, the axle, and the transmission. Ultimate damage: If you don't replace a damaged wheel bearing before it fails completely, the wheel will completely seize up.

Their performance definitely decreases with time, until they are hardly usable anymore. A battery in bad shape has a high internal resistance, which makes the voltage drop too low during discharge. To recognize expired/worn out batteries, you will need a good charger.

Like any mechanical device, a RCD can wear out over a period of time and become weakened. This can also result in nuisance tripping, replacing the device can cure the problem.

CVTs aren't as popular because a lot of people are used to driving normal torque converter automatic & manual transmissions. So they probably couldn't get used to how CVTs work.

A Catalytic Converter Can Be Driven Indefinitely Driving with a bad catalytic converter is not too dangerous. ... You will see that there is a drop in performance of the catalytic converter. In the case that the catalytic converter is totally plugged, it will prevent you from running your vehicle.

Nothing prolongs vehicle life more than regular fluid changes. In automatic transmissions/transaxles, the recommended service interval is about every 30,000 miles or 30 months. (Check your owner's manual or service manual for your car's specifics.)

The torque converter in an automatic transmission serves the same purpose as the clutch in a manual transmission. The engine needs to be connected to the rear wheels so the vehicle will move, and disconnected so the engine can continue to run when the vehicle is stopped.

Transmission gears wear out and start slipping. Over time gears can wear out – especially if they have been running hot and inefficiently due to lack of or worn out transmission fluid. Slipping gears are usually due to normal wear and tear, which causes them to not engage properly and to slip in and out of sync.

Some of the most common signs of a bad transmission control module are as follows: Slow Acceleration: It takes longer than normal for your vehicle to pick up speed. Gear Slippage: Your transmission switches gears without warning or without you shifting. Inability to Shift: You can't shift out of neutral.

If the efficiency of it is gone, don't worry about it unless you live in an area that checks emissions. It affects no sensor that's actually relevant to the engine. A plugged catalytic converter will only in extreme cases prevent you from driving your car.

normal ratings are between 50% and 75% on most things. so if the trans is rated for 470 torque, it should handle 750 to 800 torque with no problems.

Most people never assume that these hard steel components can go bad or wear out and in most cases, they would be correct. The most common cause of a bad or failing wheel stud is due to improper installation by tire service technicians, over torquing of lug nuts, or lug nuts that are not tight enough.

When a bad coil heats up, its internal resistance goes up, and it starts to produce less electricity. The end result is a weak spark, causing hot stalling.

Torque wrenches need to be taken care of properly and periodically calibrated. Often, when I ask technicians when they last calibrated their torque wrenches, they cannot tell me. Most are surprised when I inform them that they can calibrate clicker-style torque wrenches themselves.

The cost of getting it repaired can be higher than simply replacing it, so be sure to have a mechanic/technician take a look. If you plan to do the work yourself, then you'll be looking at a repair cost between $150 and $500. Repair shops will charge between $600 and $1000 to replace a torque converter.
