After a mechanical system failure what should be done with a torque converter?

Flushing the complete system and testing the torque converter is a crucial step following a mechanical system failure. This process ensures that any debris, contaminants, or broken components that may have contributed to the failure are thoroughly removed from the system. A flush helps prevent further damage to the converter and associated components, as remnants of the failure could circulate and cause additional issues.

Additionally, testing the converter allows for the assessment of its functionality post-flush. It ensures that the torque converter operates within its specified parameters and can perform its intended function without causing problems in the transmission system. Maintaining cleanliness and proper functioning is vital for the longevity and reliability of the entire system, especially after a failure event.
