What happens when the stator is unlocked?
A) Vortex flow in the torque converter fluid is limited
B) Torque converter efficiency is reduced by preventing the stator from being in the way of the fluid flow
C) Torque multiplication in the torque converter is minimized or eliminated
D) Both A and C

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The stator is unlocked when the torque converter is in the lockup mode. In this mode, the stator is held stationary, which prevents it from being in the way of the fluid flow. This reduces vortex flow in the torque converter fluid and minimizes or eliminates torque multiplication.
