(draw a vortex here) Rotary Flow is Useless Vortex Flow Does the Work in a T/C ATASA 5 th Automatic Transmissions & Transaxles 12. Highest vortex flow takes place at the highest __________ multiplication, when the speed difference between the impeller & turbine is the greatest. Highest rotary flow is at the coupling stage. Speed Torque Gear ATASA 5 th Automatic Transmissions & Transaxles 12. Highest vortex flow takes place at the highest __________ multiplication, when the speed difference between the impeller & turbine is the greatest. Highest rotary flow is at the coupling stage. Speed Torque Gear ATASA 5 th Automatic Transmissions & Transaxles 13. The ____________ contains a oneway clutch that is splined to the stator support on the front pump. Stator Turbine Rotor ATASA 5 th Automatic Transmissions & Transaxles 14. The sprag or roller clutch in the stator is generally known as an _________________ clutch. Undermining Overrunning Overrevving ATASA 5 th Automatic Transmissions & Transaxles Sprag Style Roller Style These are OneWay or Overrunning Clutches ATASA 5 th Automatic Transmissions & Transaxles 15. As a vehicle begins to move, the stator 1way clutch is ________. If it were not locked, the vehicle would have a severe loss of power. So a T/C can be the cause of “doggy” acceleration. Locked Freewheeling Overrunning ATASA 5 th Automatic Transmissions & Transaxles 16. The stator oneway roller or sprag clutch ______________ when the impeller & turbine reach the coupling (nearly the same speed) stage. Locks Freewheels or Overrunning Comes Unglued ATASA 5 th Automatic Transmissions & Transaxles 17. A stator roller clutch that is ________ at all times (couldn’t freewheel) would limit “top end”. Locked Overrunning Freewheeling ATASA 5 th Automatic Transmissions & Transaxles 18. A __________ torque converter eliminates the 10% slippage between impeller & turbine @ coupling. Lockup Backup Mockup ATASA 5 th Automatic Transmissions & Transaxles 19. ATF to apply the lockup clutch piston in the T/C is fed through a hollow ____________ (input) shaft. Turbine Stator Impeller ATASA 5 th Automatic Transmissions & Transaxles 20. The _____ controls T/C lockup clutch (TCC) operation by switching solenoids that control ATF flow. PCM PCM BCM SRS ATASA 5 th Automatic Transmissions & Transaxles 21. A ______________ gearset has a sun gear, a carrier with planetary pinions & an internal ring gear. Planetary Universal Global ATASA 5 th Automatic Transmissions & Transaxles Howstuffworks "How Gears Work" ATASA 5 th Automatic Transmissions & Transaxles 22. The ______ gear is located in the center of the planetary gearset. It can be either spur or helical. Sun Ring Pinion ATASA 5 th Automatic Transmissions & Transaxles 23. Planetary _____________ gears rotate on needle bearings & are held in a ____________ framework. Pinions are held in a Carrier ATASA 5 th Automatic Transmissions & Transaxles The easiest way to remember which mode a planetary gearset is in is to look at the planetary carrier. Carrier drives = overdrive Carrier driven = reduction Carrier held = reverse Two members held = direct drive Nothing driven or held = neutral Parking Pawl engaged to the output shaft = park ATASA 5 th Automatic Transmissions & Transaxles 24. The _______________ or internal ring gear surrounds the whole gearset adding strength to it. Sun Annulus Pinion ATASA 5 th Automatic Transmissions & Transaxles 25. Power ________________ through a planetary gearset depends on which members are held, driven, or at rest. The best advice to remembering this is to keep you eye on the planetary carrier.
