i dun thing they use clutch though....but i might be wrong, cause i don't see any auto transmission cars changing their clutch.

correction.
there is no clutch.it uses a torque converter.A torque converter is a type of fluid coupling, which allows the engine to spin somewhat independently of the transmission. If the engine is turning slowly, such as when the car is idling at a stoplight, the amount of torque passed through the torque converter is very small, so keeping the car still requires only a light pressure on the brake pedal.

If you were to step on the gas pedal while the car is stopped, you would have to press harder on the brake to keep the car from moving. This is because when you step on the gas, the engine speeds up and pumps more fluid into the torque converter, causing more torque to be transmitted to the wheels

there's no clutch.in an auto transmission it's an exception.the funtions of a clutch is taken over by a torque converter.

According to this website http://auto.howstuffworks.com/torque-converter.htm there is no clutch for automatic transmission. Instead, it has a torque converter.

jinkl, your article is talking about the automatic transmission and inside the transmission there are some clutches. These sort of clutch is not the same as the clutch system of a manual car.

In a manual transmission car, the clutch systems is made up of the clutch disc/friction material, pressure plate, springs, throw-out bearings and clutch cover.

But in the automatic transmission car, the manual clutch system mentioned above does not exist... in it's place is the torque converter.
