Why do torque converters burn belts?

Overloading the Torque Converter If his range is exceeded, it can cause excessive wear on the belt and pulley system as well.

Can a torque converter be cleaned out?

And it’s filled with fluid, and the fluid is circulating as well. Now, what that means is that this acts like a centrifuge.
