Figure 100–5<br />
The torque converter bolts to the flexplate,<br />
which is attached to the crankshaft <strong>and</strong><br />
rotates at engine speed. The hub of the<br />
converter drives the oil pump directly on<br />
most rear wheel-drive transmissions.<br />
An external ring gear<br />
generally attaches to the<br />
outer rim of the flexplate.<br />
This ring gear engages the<br />
starter motor pinion gear<br />
to turn the engine during<br />
starting.
