Paul R Posted June 13, 2003 Share Posted June 13, 2003 Hi, can someone explain to me or point me in the direction of how an automatic gearbox works? This being my first automatic car, it scares me:( that there is no clutch....how does it change gear? by magic?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul R Posted June 13, 2003 Author Share Posted June 13, 2003 Ah right. clever stuff !! I understand most of it now. One question: Do Supra auto boxes have a lockup clutch in the torque converter?? What is the difference in fuel consumption between the Auto and manual models? Is it possible to get uprated torque converters for better launching etc?? Cheers, Paul.
