Does a torque converter drain if you shut off the oil supply? I cannot remember if I posted about this here, or .com. The thing was to shut off oil to the converter with a solenoid-valve, to get some rpms when launching, and a normal tight converter when on the road. I have most of the hydraulic stuff sorted out, but I have no idea if it will drain? It would be a waste to do this project if I have to get under the car and drain every time I launch... |

The converter would "drain back" to about 1/2 full but these is no good way to shut-off the oil flow to it. Besides, if you did shut-off the oil flow the converter would quickly overheat and fail. DD |
