The Super Turbine 300 (abbreviated ST-300) [1] [2] was a two-speed automatic transmission built by General Motors. It was used in various Buick , Oldsmobile , and Pontiac models from 1964-1969. It was the same transmission marketed under different brand names by each division including ST-300 by Buick, Jetaway by Olds and simply Automatic by ...
Derived from the Europa XS kitplane and motor-glider, the XL-2 was type certified in 2004 under FAR Part 23 for VFR and IFR flight. [2]Compared to the Europa XS, the fuselage is slightly wider and larger to accommodate bigger American pilots, and also taller with a bigger windscreen.
The 232 cu in (3.8 L) I6 used in 1970-72 Jeep DJ "Postal Jeep" was backed up by the Borg-Warner T-35 3-speed automatic. At the time of the acquisition, Kaiser-Jeep was using a GM 2-speed Powerglide transmission in the DJ-5A (with the GM-sourced 2.5L I4).
[2] [3] During the development of the 9TXX, GM received 60 new patents while building 800 prototypes. [4] It was developed from the 6T41 (Gen 3) [5] and designed to occupy approximately the same volume as that prior six-speed automatic and retain that transmission's on-axis design, which aligns all the planetary gears with the crankshaft.
Basically there are two types of motor vehicle transmissions: Manual – the driver has to perform each gear change using a manually operated clutch Automatic – once placed in drive (or any other 'automatic' selector position), it automatically selects the gear ratio dependent on engine speed and load
The police package (9C1) B-body cars featured a First Gear Block Out (FGBO) Plate on the transmission housing to prevent drivetrain damage. The shift point for first to second gear is about 43 MPH (69 km/h) while second to third gear shift point is about 83 MPH (134 km/h) assuming a 3.08:1 differential and a 5,500 RPM engine speed limit.
2-speed automatic The Powerglide is a two-speed automatic transmission designed by General Motors . It was available primarily on Chevrolet from January 1950 [ 1 ] through 1973, although some Pontiac models also used this automatic transmission after the fire at the Hydra-Matic factory in 1953.
The basis of the Turboglide's unique abilities was its five-element torque converter.Most automatic transmissions have a three-element torque converter, consisting of an impeller (an engine-driven pump); a turbine that rotates with the flywheel; a transmission-driven turbine that receives the energy of the oil propelled by the impeller, and a stator that redirects the recirculating oil so that ...
