RJ-1391-0

For vehicles with automatic transmission, the turbine blade joints inside the torque converter do not have an appropriate shape, and therefore, the brazed sections may come off, causing the blades to deform, if the vehicle is repeatedly driven under high load. If the vehicle continues to be driven with such deformed turbine blades, power transmission efficiency will decrease, and in the worst case, the turbine blades could break, causing the vehicle to stall.
