[DML] Re: Automatic Transmission Question

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Why would you want to do that? Although the device is called a torque
convertor it would more accurately be named torque multiplier. It acts
like a clutch and a variable gearset. The car will not be driveable
without it.
