On April 13-15, one of the transmission industry’s most notable events took place, as members of the Torque Converter Rebuilders Association (TCRA) had their annual meeting. For this year, which was the 25th time this gathering has occurred, the meeting took place in Charlotte, N.C. As always, it served as an occasion for industry friends and colleagues to get together, talk torque converters and enjoy a nice time in a new city.
