The Fluid Drive system, to be featured in 1411 Dodge models, replaces fixed mechanical links with a two-section oil-filled fluid coupling. It allows smooth starting, stopping, and hill climbing, as the impeller and runner internals transmit power via oil, enabling drive without clutch pedal use in many conditions.
