High Torque, a torque convertor remanufacturing plant, was established in 1989. Because the torque converter is a sealed unit the customer must entrust that the converter will work correctly. We understood to have the highest quality converter we had to do it ourselves. Every time a technician or rebuilder installs one of our converters they can feel confident that our converters are built properly and built to last!

Since we also have a transmission rebuilding facility we know the importance of a high quality converter. If there is an issue with a converter the whole transmission must be removed to replace that converter costing the shop both time and money. That is why we have high quality control and use the highest quality of parts available in the industry.

Not only do we remanufacture converters to OEM specs we also build custom converters. Whether you are looking for multi disc, racing, or an altered stall converter we have you covered. With our large inventory of cores and highly experienced and competent rebuilders we are able to offer quick turnarounds on all converters. To ensure your custom converters meets your expectations please fill out the PDF questionnaire down below and submit it to one of our salesmen.

High Torque is a member of TCRA (Torque Converter Rebuilders Association) in which torque converter remanufacturers across the country work together to keep up to date on all the emerging new transmissions. TCRA promotes the highest level of ethical business and rebuilding practices in the industry.

One of the best ways to return efficiency to an old engine is to repair or replace the torque converter. When a torque converter's inner parts become worn down, the unit starts to lose efficiency.

With our specialized in-shop tools, High Torque technicians are able to open up the converters, replace the worn out part and seal them back up again.

High Torque's remanufactured torque converters are every bit as good as the factory units and much less expensive. We keep many of the most common converter types on-hand in our parts warehouse at ITW. We also do custom jobs for performance and industrial vehicles.

Come in today and see how we can get your vehicle back to its optimal performance!

What is a torque converter?

Most car owners don’t think much about their automatic transmissions. They shift appropriately, add fluid when it gets low, and replace it when it breaks. The problem with autormatic transmissions, though, is that because they must change gears mechanically, the transmission is very dependent on the torque converter, which converts the power of the engine to something that the automatic transmission can handle.

A defective or ineffective converter will cause a significant loss in power. Every good torque converter manufacturer knows this, and torque converter manufacturing has improved by leaps and bounds in the past 100 years, but neglect and lack of care by owners still causes these converters to become worn, inefficient, and defective.

Torque converters are fluid couplings, which means they are hydrodynamic in nature and use fluid pressure and power instead of mechanical gears to transfer energy from the motor to the drive shaft. Torque converter manufacturing is thus very dependent on pressure.

Every good torque converter manufacturer know this, and design their machines accordingly. But poor care can cause this pressure to be lost. Over time, this loss of pressure leads to a loss in efficiency, and soon the smooth shifting and power transfer can be lost or negated entirely.
