ABSTRACT:
A coupler is disclosed to allow a torque converter mounted to an engine to drive a transmission or other driveline component that is not constructed for use with a torque converter. The coupler includes a pump to provide fluid to the torque converter under pressure and an externally adjustable fluid pressure regulator to vary the pressure of the fluid provided to the torque converter. The stall speed of the torque converter has been found to change as the fluid pressure is changed. A fast-release driveline brake in the coupler provides reliable restraint of the coupler shaft which functions as the output shaft of the torque converter and allows power to be quickly applied to the attached driveline component.
