I have s 5spd, so I dont know much about these, can you get a torque converter for anys cars atuo tranny? I have heard/seen great things about them on here, but wondered if that place that makes them would do it for any car....?

all automatics have torque conveters.. they are the little donut in the automatic transmission.. you can get an aftermarket one built to your specs...

They should make them for most cars.

Here is a tech story on the EM (7thgen) civic:

I believe torque converters are only for auto trannies. MT's need a new clutch and flywheel. You can also get an LSD for more traction. MT's have no need for torque converters (at least that i my understanding).

anyone know how much does a shop charge for installation of a torque converten, and how much do they charge for installing flywheels and clutch's,

cause the dealership whats to charge $500 dollars just to take the tranny out....

did you not read the post? You can't have both?!?! Do you have a manual or auto?? the clutch and flywheel you don't need to take the tranny out. the torque converter you do.

i know i read the post i just wanted to know how much do they charge at a shop to install a clutch and flywheel, cause most probably it will cost the same as just installing a torque converter,

jeesh, don't get your pantys up in a twist...

That isn't what you asked. And you do not have to take the transmission out to install the clutch and flywheel. A torque converter will be more expensive to install.

still, no one seems to understand the question... damn typing...
I would want a torque converter on a different car, not my current car that is a 5 speed. again, on a different car. not my current car that is a 5 speed. so can you get them for any car? like maybe even a minivan or suv or somthing??? prehaps just a accord. just any car that is an auto, can you get a torque converter???

yes u can. u jsut hafta find someone who'll make it for you with wutever settings u want.
theres one out for our car, by JMO performance or sumthin like that, and i think the way they work is u take out ur stock torque converter, ship it over, theyre modify it, ship it back, and u put it back in. cost around $1k i think? not sure
i think u can also just buy the whole damn thing from them, but itll cost a lot more.

why'd u get a torq converter if u already got the 5speed, torq converter is for auto drivers who wants more torq like the 5speeds

He just wants to know if you can get them for other cars!!! AHHHHHH. It is like any other performance part, it has to be made by a company or custom made if you can't find it.
