xdmn Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Have a friend with a 41 Windsor with Fluid Drive and the vacumatic trans looking to get the torque converters re-done. They need the pressed in bearing repaired or replaced. There are some carbon bushings and he has some reproduced ones already. Everyone I have spoken to thus far has never had to have the torque converters worked on. Any help or assistance on where to look or whom to talk to would be appreciated.

Rusty_OToole Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Wish I could help you. As a point of interest a Fluid Drive and a torque converter are 2 different things. The difference is, the Fluid Drive has 2 elements, a drive turbine (fan) and a driven turbine. A torque converter has a 3d element, a deflector turbine in between the 2, which increases pressure and multiplies the torque.The Fluid Drive unit is completely self contained. Torque converter models have a separate oil supply. On some cars they have a special oil pan, on some models they use the engine oil supply, and on Powerflite and Torqueflite they share the transmission oil supply.
