| Mar 3, 2016 at 11:06 | comment | added | cdunn | Yes, a manual is different, but the OP was specificity asking about automatics. The OP wax also asking specifically about when the vehicle is stopped so the lockup clutch didn't seem relevant. | |
| Mar 3, 2016 at 9:02 | comment | added | Joey | @njzk2: Most torque converters actually have an added clutch that will make a physical connection above certain speeds. That way it's only inefficient while accelerating from a standstill. | |
| Mar 3, 2016 at 8:54 | comment | added | Taemyr | @Leliel Yes, but on a manual transmission you would typically need to disengage the clutch when you brake. | |
| Mar 3, 2016 at 5:49 | comment | added | njzk2 | I never knew this existed. It sounds very inefficient (but apparently it is not, how comes?) | |
| Mar 3, 2016 at 3:00 | comment | added | Leliel | Note that all of this only applies to an automatic transmission, manual transmissions work on a completely different mechanism. | |
