The Hydraulic System which uses special transmission fluid sent under pressure by an oil pump through the valve body to control the clutches and the bands in order to control the planetary gear sets. 下一页 返回 Seals and Gaskets are used to keep the oil where it is supposed to be and prevent it from leaking out. The Hydrodynamic Torque Converter which acts like a clutch to allow the vehicle to come to a stop in gear while the engine is still running. The Governor and the Modulator or Throttle Cable that monitor speed and throttle position in order to determine when to shift. On newer vehicles, shift points are controlled by computer which directs electrical solenoids to shift oil flow to the appropriate component at the right instant. 返回 上一页 9.1 Automatic Transmission Operating Principle 9.2 Hydrodynamic Torque Converter Operating On automatic transmissions, the hydrodynamic torque converter takes the place of the clutch found on standard shift vehicles. It allows the engine to continue running when the vehicle comes to a stop. The principle behind a torque converter is like taking a fan that is plugged into the wall and blowing air into another fan which is unplugged. 返回 下一页 If you grab the blade on the unplugged fan, you are able to hold it from turning but as soon as you let it go, it will begin to speed up until it comes close to the speed of the powered fan. The difference with a torque converter is that instead of using air, it uses oil or transmission fluid, to be mo
