2. Torque converter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torque_converter

   The transmission fluid will quickly overheat, not to mention the repeated impacts on the stator clutch (next topic). Also, overheating transmission fluid causes it to lose viscosity and damage the transmission. Such abuse can in rare cases cause the torque converter to leak and eventually stop functioning due to lack of fluid.

3. Direct-drive mechanism - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct-drive_mechanism

   Direct-drive systems are characterized by smooth torque transmission, and nearly-zero backlash. [9] [10] [11] The main [citation needed] benefits of a direct-drive system are increased efficiency (due to reduced power losses from the drivetrain components) and being a simpler design with fewer moving parts.

4. Continuously variable transmission - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuously_variable...

   A continuously variable transmission (CVT) is an automated transmission that can change through a continuous range of gear ratios, typically resulting in better fuel economy in gasoline applications. [1] This contrasts with other transmissions that provide a limited number of gear ratios in fixed steps.

5. Transmission (mechanical device) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_(mechanical...

   Transmission internals for a 2009 Volkswagen Golf. A transmission (also called a gearbox) is a mechanical device which uses a gear set—two or more gears working together—to change the speed, direction of rotation, or torque multiplication/reduction in a machine.

6. Electromagnetic clutch - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_clutch

   Magnetkuppl. Electromagnetic clutches operate electrically but transmit torque mechanically. This is why they used to be referred to as electro-mechanical clutches. Over the years, EM became known as electromagnetic versus electro-mechanical, referring more about their actuation method versus physical operation.
