It's a torque converter, like on a conventional automatic gearbox. Just obviously built to handle significantly more power and better cooled to handle the large amount of slipping required for low-speed driving.
- dsfyu404ed 8y agoIt doesn't actually take much of a torque converter to handle 1000+hp. A stock style converter from a C6 or TH400 (half century old designs) should do the trick as long as you can cool them. Having a lockup converter that can deal with a 1000+hp is a whole different story.
