ZF torque converter cut-away A cut-away model of a torque converter. A torque converter is a device, usually implemented as a type of fluid coupling, that transfers rotating power from a prime mover, like an internal combustion engine, to a rotating driven load. In a vehicle with an automatic transmission, the torque
[citation needed] The PCM was given a more powerful microprocessor and Ford added a turbine speed sensor to the transmission. [citation needed] This allows the PCM to know the speed of the input shaft after the torque converter, which is used in combination with crankshaft speed to detect the amount of slipping going on in the torque converter ...
Newer vehicles like Fiesta and Puma use the newer 7-speed PowerShift, while others have reverted to a torque-converter automatic. Volvo Cars While P3 Volvo models using the EcoBoost engine in 1.6T derivatives are equipped with the 6-speed PowerShift, some older P3 platform cars feature the 6-speed PowerShift in 2.0T derivatives (Badged T3 (1.6T ...
The problem seemed to be that the torque converter would "lock up" in 2nd gear, and would not unlock easily. When the driver attempted to brake hard, often in a sudden or 'panic' stop, and accidentally locked the brakes (no wheel movement, tires skidding), this would kill the engine; this also killed the power steering, and the driver would ...

The original Ford-O-Matic accomplished two things that Ford's two previous automatic transmissions failed to do: Through the use of an integrated torque converter and planetary gearset, Ford's automatic shifted smoothly without an interruption in torque from the engine. The other was the shifting pattern, revised from PNDLR to PRNDL, which ...
ControlTrac four-wheel drive is the brand name of a selectable automatic full-time four-wheel drive system offered by Ford Motor Company. The four-wheel drive system was designed and developed at BorgWarner under its TorqTransfer Systems division in the mid 1980s. [1] [2] [3] BorgWarner calls the system
It is based on the ZF 6HP26 transmission [1] and has been built under license by the Ford Motor Company at its Livonia Transmission plant in Livonia, Michigan. The 6R debuted in 2005 for the 2006 model year Ford Explorer and Mercury Mountaineer. The 6R 80 was available in 2009–2017 Ford F-150 trucks (and 2018–2020 only paired with the 3.3L ...
