   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009–2011_Toyota_vehicle...

   However, tests of the Camry by Car and Driver in 2009, attempting to use the brakes to stop acceleration of a purposely stuck throttle at 70, 100 and 120 miles per hour (110, 160 and 190 km/h), found that the test driver was able to reduce speed to 10 mph (16 km/h) in all instances, and in the 70 and 100 mph (110 and 160 km/h) tests, stop the ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_clutch

   To activate the compressor the clutch is activated. This connects the air conditioning compressor's shaft end to a pulley driven by the engine's crankshaft through a belt. Electromagnetic clutches have been used on diesel locomotives, e.g. by Hohenzollern Locomotive Works.

   Transmission internals for a 2009 Volkswagen Golf. A transmission (also called a gearbox) is a mechanical device which uses a gear set—two or more gears working together—to change the speed, direction of rotation, or torque multiplication/reduction in a machine. [1] [2]

5. Clutch control - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clutch_control

   Slipping the clutch is known to be hard on the clutch surface due to the sliding friction created. Drivers can frequently be observed slipping the clutch when they are trying to stay stationary on a hill without using neutral and the brake. They apply the clutch to climb a bit, then release to roll back, then apply again, etc. so that the car ...

6. Engine braking - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_braking

   Engine braking is a viable method of controlling the speed at which a vehicle travels downhill. By shifting to a lower gear in a manual transmission, or applying "low" mode on an automatic transmission, engine braking reduces the need to repeatedly apply the foot brake, lowering the risk of the brakes overheating. [2]

7. Torque converter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torque_converter

   The transmission fluid will quickly overheat, not to mention the repeated impacts on the stator clutch (next topic). Also, overheating transmission fluid causes it to lose viscosity and damage the transmission. Such abuse can in rare cases cause the torque converter to leak and eventually stop functioning due to lack of fluid.
