    TAV torque converter question

    Torque converters have a sprocket which is linked with a chain to drive the wheels. Well, is it possible to change the tooth of the sprocket? Is it interchangable with another sprocket? I was planning on changing my 10 tooth sprocket to a 12, or maybe 13 the most.
