There has always been a incorrect statement that Roto has a torque converter. It does not. Roto has a fluid coupling that happens to have a stator in it. Hydramatic service manuals confirm this to be true. Inspection reveals the straight vanes all couplings have in common. Take the stator out and you have a simple coupling. Take the stator out of a torque converter automatic and you still have a torque converter because the vanes are curved.

I like Old Tech by the way.
Nothing wrong with modern high tech but I am around it daily .
Gets Boring.
What kind of Friction plate material is used in.these old Rotohydramatics & Super Hydro Dual Coupling transmissions ?
Do they offer Eagle Red Alto frictions, Kolene Salt Bath treated Steels & a Carbon Fiber Band(s) ?
I have rebuilt and blueprinted Turbo 400, TH 350, 700R4, 4L60E & others non GM.
