It's not often enough that I get to do some technical writing, but I do enjoy those opportunities when they come. I'm just a jack of all trades, master of none, but maybe this will help a few of you that are interested better understand how your torque converter really works, and then look at how we apply that understanding along with rear gear ratio to come up with the best performing combination possible.
