In an automatic transmission, the torque converter cover and impeller are turned by the engine's power. Specifically, the engine's flywheel connects to the torque converter, transferring rotational energy. As the engine runs, it turns the flywheel, which in turn rotates the torque converter cover and impeller, allowing for the transfer of power to the transmission and ultimately to the wheels. This process enables smooth acceleration and deceleration without the need for manual gear changes.

The component of a torque converter that is driven directly by the engine is the impeller, also known as the pump. The impeller is connected to the engine's crankshaft and rotates with it, creating a hydraulic fluid flow within the torque converter. This flow then drives the turbine, which is connected to the transmission, allowing for the transfer of power from the engine to the drivetrain.
