A torque converter is a type of fluid coupling that is used to transfer rotating power from a prime mover, such as an internal combustion engine, to a rotating driven load.

The torque converter normally takes the place of a mechanical clutch in a vehicle with an automatic transmission, allowing the load to be separated from the power source.

It is usually located between the engine's flexplate and the transmission.

An Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) is a company that makes a part or subsystem that is used in another company's end product.

For example, if Acme Manufacturing Co. makes power cords that are used on IBM computers, Acme is an OEM.

In a motor vehicle, the term powertrain or powerplant describes the main components that generate power and deliver it to the road surface, water, or air.

This includes the engine, transmission, drive shafts, differentials, and the final drive (drive wheels, continuous track as in military tanks or caterpillar tractors, propeller, etc).

More recently in hybrid Powertrains the battery, the electric motor and the control algorithm are also seen as elements of the Powertrain.

Usually "powertrain" is used to refer to simply the engine and transmission, including the other components only if they are integral to the transmission.

In contract law, a warranty has various meanings but generally means a guarantee or promise which provides by one party to the other party that specific facts or conditions are true or will happen.

This factual guarantee may be enforced regardless of materiality which allows for a legal remedy if that promise is not true or followed.

A transmission is a machine in a power transmission system, which provides controlled application of the power.

Often the term transmission refers simply to the gearbox that uses gears and gear trains to provide speed and torque conversions from a rotating power source to another device.
