Slipping or Shuddering

If the clutch is failing to deliver power to the converter, it can lead to serious performance issues with the industrial machine. Even the best torque converter for industrial cranes will have problems every now and then. Please realize that this is a big repair job and is best left up to a top torque converter rebuilder and not just any mechanic.

Torque converter shuddering in heavy machinery isn’t the only ominous sign you need to look out for. Dirty liquid can also be cause for a serious concern. Ideally, you will want all of the liquid in your industrial equipment to appear nice and thick.

Overheating
