torque converter in wet conditions

[400nitro]

I ride a lot off-road , crossing water ,mud, in rain etc. how do these perform when wet? I know my sled wont even move after I wash it . building an enclosed cover like an atv would hold in a lot of heat and belt dust I would think.

Torque converter is #1 choice for off road... Clutch and chains get dirty, while TC has a consistent smooth power band.

At Windber they got packed with water, mud and rain but they kept going with little to no harm.

I use the 30 and 40 series in the mud and snow with little issues.

I actually cross streams at places I ride, I didn't know how they work

If they get wet the tend to clean themselves. May slip for a little while (like 50') but after that it's okay again.

They slip like crazy when snow gets in but it clears out pretty quick. I always try to cover them the best as possible
