During the initial period (the first year after your braces come off) you will wear it 24/7 for several months. Later, your orthodontist will tell you that it's OK to wear it only at night -- every night. After another year goes by, you can wear it several nights per week.
As mentioned, converter shudder is usually temperature related. As transmission fluid recycles back through the engine turbine, it picks up frictional heat. Once the amount of heat generated by this friction surpasses the transmissions cooler's ability to shed it, the fluid thins and power transfer becomes inconsistent.ransmissions can shudder in a very similar manner to torque converters. To determine whether the shudder is tranny or TC related, run your vehicle for a little while till it begin to shudder and immediately park it. With your foot on the brake, put the transmission in Drive, and apply light throttle.
How a torque converter lockup works. The torque converter is a coupling between the engine and transmission of the vehicle. The purpose is to allow the vehicle to come to a stop, with the engine running.To do this something has to slip, and that is the torque converter. From this perspective, it acts much like an automatic clutch.A torque converter works by transferring power, through fluid motion.hile the pan is off, we tighten the bolts on the transmission valve body to the specified torque. In time the valve body gasket shrinks, from heat and the bolts loosen. A loose valve body can develop cross-leaks among the passages. This can cause transmission failure.
