1. The VALVE BODY is operated by the
shift lever and sensors,and controls oil
flow to pistons and servos
2. The PLANETARY GEARSETS provide
different gear ratios and reverse
gearing for an automatic
transmission/transaxle

3. The TORQUE CONVERTER is a fluid
coupling that connects and disconnects
engine and transmission.
4. The OIL PUMP produces the pressure
needed to operate the hydraulic
components in the transmission
Torque Converter
Principles of Torque
Converter Operation
Chapter 57
5. The IMPELLER is a driving fan that
produces oil movement inside the
converter whenever the engine is
running
6. The TURBINE is the driven fan splined
to the input shaft of the automatic
transmission that is driven by the energy
of the oil driven by the impeller

7. The INPUT SHAFT transfers power
from torque converter to internal drive
members and gear sets.
8. The BANDS and CLUTCHES apply
clamping or driving pressure on different
parts of gear sets to operate them

9. PISTONS and SERVOS actuate (move
or hold) the bands and clutches to
produce the different gear ratios needed
to shift an automatic
transmission/transaxle
10. The OUTPUT SHAFT transfers engine
torque from the transmissions gear sets
to the drive shaft, and ultimately, the
rear wheels
