ok... that driver clutch confuses me everytime i look at it 
where is the friction surface??? i cant see what rubs on what!
it surely cant be those metal round sticks coming out the sides of the center...???
sweet tho.

Its not a friction clutch, its the driver of a torque converter, as rpms increase one side moves inward, forcing the belt up and changing the gear ratio.

ohhhhh! i think i get it.
thanks kaptain krunch!
so are you saying that the 2 pulley sides arent even touching the pulley at idle, and then when the engine speeds up, THEN the sides squish together and lock up on the belt?
if anyone else was as dumb as i am... check out this youtube video,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mgXKwikTwMk
it totally explains the way a torque converter operates!
also, later in the video, it shows the sides moving in unison while he revs it on a stand! (3:45) cool vid.
if im still wrong, please correct me! (not sure if 20series is like a snowmobile torque converter.)
EDIT:
wow, i just checked a schematic to see if i really understood it correct. I did!
torque converters are now WAYYY cooler now that i understand how the DRIVER works. (already understood the driven)

yup your were exactly right, and all belt drive torque converters work on the same principal. Pretty cool huh, totally kicks centrifugal clutches ***.

Davids farm rocks! He lives close to me. Watch more of his videos. He gets paid like $1200 a month by YouTube.

I havent met him yet but we plan on going to his farm for a weekend whenever we go to London Ontairo for racing. He lives only a little while away. Should be so redneckly awsome.
