  2. Torque converter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torque_converter

    The transmission fluid will quickly overheat, not to mention the repeated impacts on the stator clutch (next topic). Also, overheating transmission fluid causes it to lose viscosity and damage the transmission. Such abuse can in rare cases cause the torque converter to leak and eventually stop functioning due to lack of fluid.

  3. Automatic transmission fluid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_transmission_fluid

    Automatic transmission fluid (ATF) is a hydraulic fluid that is essential for the proper functioning of vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions. Usually, it is coloured red or green to differentiate it from motor oil and other fluids in the vehicle.

  4. Fluid coupling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_coupling

    A fluid coupling cannot develop output torque when the input and output angular velocities are identical. [7] Hence, a fluid coupling cannot achieve 100 percent power transmission efficiency. Due to slippage that will occur in any fluid coupling under load, some power will always be lost in fluid friction and turbulence, and dissipated as heat.

  5. Viscous coupling unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viscous_coupling_unit

    When the two sets of plates are rotating in unison, the fluid stays cool and remains liquid. When the plates start rotating at different speeds, the shear effect of the tabs or perforations on the fluid will cause it to heat and become nearly solid because the viscosity of dilatant fluids rapidly increases with shear. The fluid in this state ...

    en.wikipedia.org/.../GM_Roto_Hydramatic_transmission

    Not only was the transmission shifting to a very much higher range ( 2.93 to 1.56, but it was also simultaneously emptying the fluid coupling and making a mechanical lock-up. The wide gap in the reduction ratio between first and second gears combined with the direct mechanical connection to the engine to create a shift that could be firm enough ...

  7. Clutch control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clutch_control

    Slipping the clutch is a popular term in drag racing culture and is done when launching a car, usually in a drag race. Some contend that slipping the clutch is the best way to launch a front-wheel drive (FWD) car as it prevents torque steering that many FWD cars experience when too much power is put to the front wheels.
