Torque Converter

Where is the torque converter in a C5? I know I should know this, I already had the gears and TC changed!!!

Is the clutch in a C5 in the same place as a TC on a manual?

Aside from the differences in the trannys,the clutch is in the same place,and does the same thing in a sense.The convertor acts as a clutch when your engine gets below the convertors stall speed.It starts to slip to allow you to idle without killing the engine.Maybe i went to far in this but here you are.

The clutch is in the conventional spot -- at the front of the torque tube and behind the engine. The torque converter is in the rear -- at the back of the torque tube and in front of the tranny...

Thanks. That is what I thought, but was not sure. Appreciate the answers.
