ABSTRACT:
A wheeled vehicle has an internal combustion engine provided with an air intake having a throttle valve. A change speed transmission drives certain of the wheels and receives power from a fluid torque converter having an impeller driven by the engine and a turbine connected to drive the change speed transmission. A clutch establishes a direct drive between the impeller and the turbine, and the clutch is closed when the vehicle speed exceeds a predetermined level but is prevented from closing when the opening in the engine throttle valve is smaller than a predetermined magnitude.
