A few automatic transmissions do have clutches; however, the majority use a torque converter.
Clutches are useful in devices that have two rotating shafts. In these devices, one of the shafts is typically driven by a motor or pulley, and the other shaft drives another device. In a drill, for instance, one shaft is driven by a motor and the other drives a drill chuck. The clutch connects the two shafts so that they can either be locked together and spin at the same speed, or be decoupled and spin at different speeds.
In a car, you need a clutch because the engine spins all the time, but the car's wheels do not. In order for a car to stop without killing the engine, the wheels need to be disconnected from the engine somehow. The clutch allows us to smoothly engage a spinning engine to a non-spinning transmission by controlling the slippage between them.
To understand how a clutch works, it helps to know a little bit about friction, which is a measure of how hard it is to slide one object over another. Friction is caused by the peaks and valleys that are part of every surface -- even very smooth surfaces still have microscopic peaks and valleys. The larger these peaks and valleys are, the harder it is to slide the object.
A clutch works because of friction between a clutch plate and a flywheel, I can't really tell you about that without giving you the wrong information.
automatic transmissions do not have clutches. If it is slipping it may need adjustment but probably will need to be replaced.
Yes , automatic or manual transmissions
It would most likely be a/ worn clutch/s or a shift solenoid. ( yes!!! automatic transmissions have clutches)
manual and automatic transmissions.
Primarily clutch friction plates perforated for cooling. In automatic transmissions and other wet clutches, the holes distribute oil. In both wet and dry clutches, the holes also allow wear particles to βescapeβ the friction surface and to get them out of the way.
since clutches are used in manual transmissions, automatic trans vehicles have whats called a torque converter and is a type of fluid coupling. its between the engine and trans allow the vehicle to come to a full stop without stalling the motor.
God
They are still needed and used. Automatic transmissions are more complex and require more maintenance, but are much easier to drive. Automatics still have clutches, but they are internal to the transmission and are operated by hydraulic valves controlled by engine RPM, throttle position, and gear shift lever position

BMWs are only available with manual transmissions at purchase. However, automatic transmissions may replace manual. There are only a few automatic transmissions which may be used in a BMW, so it is an expensive process.
There are basically three types of transmissions: manual, automatic and continuously variable transmissions (CVT). CVT is the only other type that would fall under the automatic category. transmissions for a ++++++ transmissions for a dodge truck
yes
