6L80E Torque Converter

The 6L80E torque converter is a vital component of the 6L80E transmission system found in many GM vehicles.

It is responsible for transferring engine torque to the transmission, allowing the vehicle to move.

The torque converter is a fluid-filled device that sits between the engine and the transmission, and it consists of a impeller, a stator, and a turbine.

• Impeller
• Turbine
• Stator

When the engine is running and the vehicle is stationary, the impeller rotates and forces transmission fluid outwards.

This fluid then hits the stationary stator,

which causes it to rotate and create a pumping action that helps build up pressure in the transmission.

When the vehicle starts moving, the turbine begins to rotate, and the transmission fluid flows back into it, causing it to spin and transfer torque to the transmission.

This allows the vehicle to get up to speed and move under its own power.

If the torque converter is not functioning properly, it can cause issues with acceleration and overall transmission performance.
