Portuguese term or phrase: reduzida
Aqui a explicação do que é reduzida em PT:

No sistema tradicional (de tração), também é comum a presença de um mecanismo de multiplicação de torque, chamado reduzida.

Conhecem um termo para "reduzida" nesse sentido, que não seja multiplication torque?

Obrigada!

torque converter / reduction gear
Explanation:
More context would be nice... IMHO you are refering to a "torque converter" which is used to transfer power from an engine to the driveshaft.
if you are talking about a mechanical clutch, this it would be called a reduction gear.

transmission with low traction mode


Explanation:
'...The transmission acts as a torque multiplier.." - www.adilca.com

Low traction mode - this mode limits the torque to the wheels in slippery condition.

Conversores de torque modernos são capazes de multiplicar o torque do motor duas ou três vezes. Esse efeito acontece apenas quando o motor estiver girando muito mais rápido que o câmbio.
