2. Flexplate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flexplate

   A flexplate or flex plate is a metal disk that connects the output from an engine to the input of a torque converter in a car equipped with an automatic transmission. [1] It takes the place of the flywheel found in a conventional manual transmission setup.

3. Manual transmission - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manual_transmission

   A manual transmission (MT), also known as manual gearbox, standard transmission (in Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States), or stick shift (in the United States), is a multi-speed motor vehicle transmission system where gear changes require the driver to manually select the gears by operating a gear stick and clutch (which is usually ...

4. Fluid Drive - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_Drive

   The fluid drive fluid coupling was also used in conjunction with Chrysler's M6 Presto-Matic semi-automatic transmissions. The M6 was in reality a two-speed manual transmission with a conventional clutch mounted behind the same fluid coupling unit that was installed in straight Fluid Drive cars. The M4 Vacamatic had two forward speeds and reverse.

5. Torque converter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torque_converter

   In a vehicle with an automatic transmission, the torque converter connects the prime mover to the automatic gear train, which then drives the load. It is thus usually located between the engine's flexplate and the transmission. The equivalent device in a manual transmission is the mechanical clutch.

6. Fluid coupling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_coupling

   While the transmission is in gear, as engine speed increases, torque is transferred from the engine to the input shaft by the motion of the fluid, propelling the vehicle. In this regard, the behaviour of the fluid coupling strongly resembles that of a mechanical clutch driving a manual transmission .

7. Gear stick - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gear_stick

   Steering wheel with column-mounted gear lever in a W 120-series Mercedes-Benz 180 Column shifter for an automatic transmission in a Ford Crown Victoria. Gear sticks are most commonly found between the front seats of the vehicle, either on the center console (sometimes even quite far up on the dashboard), the transmission tunnel (erroneously called a console shifter when the floor shifter ...

8. Rev limiter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rev_limiter

   In the case of an automatic transmission in "drive" mode, the engine RPM stays safely within the range that the transmission chooses. Only when over revving the engine in "park", "neutral" or "manual" modes is there any need for a rev limiter. These vehicles often did not include a tachometer until the turn of the millennium. Without this gauge ...
