Ep. 5 Automatic Transmissions Explained: Why Torque Converters Still Rule the Road

Automatic transmissions have been called outdated—but they’re still the most common drivetrain on the planet. In this episode of Wrench and Reason, we break down how torque-converter automatics really work, why modern versions are faster and more efficient than ever, and how they compare to manuals, CVTs, and dual-clutch gearboxes. We’ll cover: • Why cars need torque converters in the first place • How planetary gearsets create multiple ratios from one system • How modern computers and lock-up clutches transformed efficiency • Why today’s 8-, 9-, and 10-speed automatics shift faster than humans can blink If you’ve ever wondered what’s actually happening when your car “automatically” shifts—or why manufacturers still use this design after 70 years—this video will make it crystal clear. #wrenchandreason #cartechnology #automatictransmission #torqueconverter #carbuyingtips #carenthusiast #carbasics
