Abstract
A torque converter includes a torsional damper assembly. The torsional damper assembly includes a damper. The damper has an electromagnetic coil and a magnetorheological fluid. The electromagnetic coil is positioned such that a magnetic field from the electromagnetic coil adjusts a viscosity of the magnetorheological fluid when a current flows through the electromagnetic coil.
