If the torque converter is pushing the flex plate and thrust bearing, the thrust bearing&rsquo;s surface might not be able to maintain a sufficient oil film. This can cause the part to overheat and be destroyed, which can allow the crankshaft to move and result in severe crank damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where to Get a Replacement Torque Converter for Your Vehicle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned, an incorrectly installed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/torque-converter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"torque converter\">torque converter<\/a> may affect the engine.
