Abstract
A torque converter has a positive displacement pump (15,16) for charging and for circulating fluid for cooling purposes, which is driven at a speed equal to the difference in speed between the input and the output of the torque converter. The torque converter can be locked-up by stalling the pump flow by means of a valve (36).
