Hi all,

The statement of interest is
"The torque converter replaced the start clutch arrangement of the previous CVT unit, giving improved parking speed drivability"
In engineer speak, improving the jerk/shudder issues.
But don't lose hope. The jerk won't go away but with careful use and maintenance, the nightmare of complete tranny replacement is almost unwarranted.
Cheers
