autos dont really have "gears" they have clutches that drive it
Wrong. The vast majority of automatics do have gears, usually in a planetary gear set. The biggest exceptions are the Prius transmission, which effectively uses electric motors instead of gears, and CVT transmissions, which vary the "gear ratio" use a belt on two conical pulleys. The P5 transmission is a conventional automatic with a gear set.
