The ProTorque Story

ProTorque's mission is to produce the most advanced high performance torque converters available.

Rivera, whose motto is "knowledge is power," has brought an immense knowledge of computers to the business and catapulted ProTorque to the forefront of the computer-controlled, electronic lockup torque converter market. For this reason, Joe has been included in several advisory boards and has been asked to speak at multiple industry conferences and seminars. Joe Jr. spent several years as the President of the TCRA (Torque Converter Rebuilders Association) and has had several articles written by him published in trade publications.

Joe is widely known and respected in the transmission industry and racing community as a leader and as an innovator. He has spent nearly three decades developing a complete line of customizable torque converters to meet the needs of everyday drivers, street racers, and professional level race teams.
