torque converter

its what makes auto tranny's possible. auto tranny's tend to be less efficient because the tranny gears are not actually attached to the engine, like the clutch in a 5spd tranny.

instead it works off of fluid. a performance TC is made to be more efficient in putting the power into the tranny, which helps put more to the wheels and give a quicker response, similar to a flywheel and clucth upgrade on a 5spd car.
