It's a bit more complicated than that and requires some good pictures to
get a good idea of how it works, but the effect is to allow two slippage

slip state.
On the CDI there is a variable slippage t

And, I might add, that a defective TC stator system turns
a 450 SL into something more like a 240D, so far as off
the line performance goes. Yet it drove fine at speed.

A fluid coupling runs at a fixed slip ratio with a fixed stator --
that is, there is a "pump" half, a stator to re-direct the oil back
to the pump, and a "driven" half pushed along by the oil from the
"pump" half.
A torque converter is similar, except that the stator is on a one-way

I've seen a couple different posts now saying fluid coupling vs torque
converter, can somebody please 'splain me the difference?
Thanks
