Caterpillar R2900G Torque Converter

Part Number: 173-8976

Murray Engineering’s service exchange components are purpose-built to help you minimise downtime and control maintenance spend — without cutting corners on quality. With fast access to critical parts and components rebuilt to exceed OEM standards, we’ll help keep your loader in the dirt and out of the workshop.



The CAT R2900G torque converter transmits engine power to the transmission using hydraulic fluid, enabling smooth acceleration and torque multiplication under heavy load. It allows the loader to shift gears efficiently and maintain power across varying speeds and inclines. All service exchange torque converters are load tested on our state-of-the-art AIDCO 850 Dynamometer by experienced in-house specialists to ensure reliability and performance.
