Automatic Transmission G:01:01<br />

Fig. 1 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - SECTIONAL VIEW<br />

The three speed transmission is a fully automatic<br />

unit consisting primarily of a 3-element torque<br />

converter and a single planetary gear set. Two<br />

multiple disc clutches, two multiple disc brakes,<br />

and a one-way roller clutch provide the friction<br />

elements required to obtain the desired functions<br />

of the planetary gear set.<br />

The transmission assembly consists of a torque<br />

converter unit final drive unit and a hydraulic<br />

transmission unit.<br />

TORQUE CONVERTER UNIT (A):<br />

The torque converter provides automatic clutch<br />

action, additional engine torque multiplication, and<br />

smooth coupling for transmitting engine torque to<br />

the mechanical assembly. The converter is of<br />

welded construction and is serviced as an<br />

assembly. The unit is made up of two vaned<br />

sections (turbine and pump) and a single stator<br />

mounted on a one-way roller clutch. Automatic<br />

clutch action and smooth coupling takes place<br />

GENERAL DESCRIPTION<br />

1. Step Down Gears (2)<br />

2. Ring and Pinion Gears<br />

3. Differential Carrier<br />

4. Governor Drive Gear<br />

5. Governor Driven Gear<br />

6. Gear Train<br />

7. Transmission Fluid Pump<br />

when circulating fluid within the converter couples<br />

the two vaned sections together. Increased torque<br />

is brought about by the stator redirecting the fluid<br />

flow and providing an additional driving force<br />

against the turbine.<br />

FINAL DRIVE UNIT (B):<br />

The final drive transmits power from the hydraulic<br />

transmission to the driving wheels. The unit<br />

consists of a step-down gear, which lowers the<br />

drive centerline and a differential assembly. The<br />

differential is made up of a ring and pinion gear<br />

assembly and carrier housing containing two axle<br />

side gears and two spider gears, including a<br />

governor drive gear.<br />

HYDRAULIC TRANSMISSION UNIT (C):<br />

The hydraulic transmission receives power from<br />

the torque converter turbine and converts this<br />

power into three reduction ratios for forward<br />

movement and one reduction ratio for reverse<br />

movement. Forward and reverse gears are
