Kati Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 I have -05 SRX V8 and there is something wrong with automatic transmission system. Car repairer said that we need to change turbine. I live in Finland and I'm trying to order that part from USA (or somewhere where it's cheaper) but I can't find it anywhere from internet.. Can someone help me? What is actually name of that part? Is it turbine in english? (Sorry my bad english ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Nunnally Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 Welcome. I suggest you ask the repairer for a specific list of needed parts by GM part number. Then you are more likely to get exactly what is needed. Bruce 2023 Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing Follow me on: Twitter Instagram Youtube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BodybyFisher Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 The only turbine I can think of is in the torque converter. Did he say torque converter? What are the symptoms? I dont think I have ever saw a torque converter go bad as a primary failure, usually the torque converter fails as a consequence of something else, like the TCC circuit. If it is the torque converter rockauto has one for $150 that includes a $50 core charge which you would undoubtly just pay as it would probably cost more to send it back.

cdgrinci Posted September 15, 2016 Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 I agree with BodybyFisher; the torque converter is a fluid turbine (and part of the transmission). As you describe, a transmission problem, that would seem to be what the tech was referring. Just check back with the technician and ask him if this is what he needs.

OldCadTech Posted September 15, 2016 Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 I have seen torque converters go bad BUT in all the cases I've seen it has been a total transmission rebuild because the viscous fluid enters the transmission and damages the internal components. I wouldn't order one unless I had a very good explanation as to how it failed as a single unit. I would get another opinion. Seems more likely it would be a TCC solenoid or other control malfunction.
