Abstract
A modular stator for a torque converter includes a stator hub, an outer ring, and a plurality of blades extending radially between the stator hub and the outer ring. Each blade is releasably securable to the stator hub in at least two different orientations. A blade angle of the plurality of blades can be predetermined by selecting one of the at least two orientations. A lock member secures each blade at the selected orientation.
