2001 NEON 21s - 184 41TE AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE SPEED SENSOR - OUTPUT (Continued) TORQUE CONVERTER DESCRIPTION The torque converter (Fig. 299) is a hydraulic device that couples the engine crankshaft to the transmission. The torque converter consists of an outer shell with an internal turbine, a stator, an overrunning clutch, an impeller and an electronically applied converter clutch.

2001 NEON 41TE AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE 21s - 185 TORQUE CONVERTER (Continued) IMPELLER The impeller (Fig. 300) is an integral part of the converter housing. The impeller consists of curved blades placed radially along the inside of the housing on the transmission side of the converter. As the con- verter housing is rotated by the engine, so is the impeller, because they are one and the same and are the driving member of the system.

2001 NEON 21s - 186 41TE AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE TORQUE CONVERTER (Continued) TURBINE The turbine (Fig. 301) is the output, or driven, member of the converter. The turbine is mounted within the housing opposite the impeller, but is not attached to the housing. The input shaft is inserted through the center of the impeller and splined into the turbine.
