Hmm. The idea of a TC is to bridge the fixed ratios in a conventional auto, and in doing so it wastes rather a lot of power - hence these transmissions don't get used much in small cars. A CVT doesn't have fixed ratios so has no need of a torque convertor which would negate the better efficiency of the design anyway. It could be a fluid flywheel, I suppose, but again these reduce the efficiency. I think you may need to find an auto specialist who isn't pulling your plonker...
