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.
The Torque Converter can go bad, and many people mistake an engine miss, torque converter shudder, or an engine vacuum leak for a converter going bad. An out of adjustment brake light switch can also cause the torque converter to no lock up sometimes.A sticking valve within the transmission is the usual cause of an erratic lock up that will mimic a bad converter. Rule out the obvious before you assume its going bad, and/or have it rebuilt.n out of adjustment brake light switch can also cause the torque converter to no lock up sometimes.

Torque, Traction and Wheel Slip. Torque is the twisting force that the engine produces. The torque from the engine is what moves your car. The various gears in the transmission and differential multiply the torque and split it up between the wheels.uite simply, wheel slip occurs when the force applied to a tire exceeds the traction available to that tire. Force is applied to the tire in two ways: 1  Longitudinally -- Longitudinal force comes from the torque applied to the tire by the engine or by the brakes.
