The Ford–GM 10-speed automatic transmission is part of a joint venture between Ford Motor Company and General Motors to design and engineer two transmissions: a longitudinal 10-speed transmission and a transverse 9-speed trans-axle. Each company manufactures its own unique version of the transmissions in its own factories.
Automatic – once placed in drive (or any other 'automatic' selector position), it automatically selects the gear ratio dependent on engine speed and load; Basically there are two types of engine installation: In the longitudinal direction, the gearbox is usually designed separately from the final drive (including the differential). The ...
Lifetime automatic transmission fluids made from higher-quality base oil and an additive package are more chemically stable, less reactive, and do not experience oxidation as easily as lower-quality fluids made from lower-quality base oil and an additive package. Therefore, higher-quality transmission fluids can last a long time in normal ...
A design feature once found in some General Motors automatic transmissions was the variable-pitch stator, in which the blades' angle of attack could be varied in response to changes in engine speed and load. The effect of this was to vary the amount of torque multiplication produced by the converter.
Honda's older transmissions such as the Hondamatic semi-automatic transmission and its successors use traditional, individual gears on parallel axes like a manual transmission, with each gear ratio engaged by a separate hydraulic clutch pack. This design is also noteworthy because it preserves engine braking by eliminating a sprag between first ...
The 6R is a 6-speed automatic transmission for longitudinal engine placement in rear-wheel drive vehicles. 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 .
An automatic gearbox built by Aisin of Japan used the Volvo 16-valve B234F 4-cylinder engine found in the 740 GLE. This gearbox is a modified AW71 with different ratios to leverage the unique power curve characteristics produced by the 16-valve head (when compared to the 8-valve B230F/FT with an AW71 gearbox).
The A-series are 2- to 10-speed automatic transmissions for front wheel drive, all wheel drive, or rear wheel drive use built by Aisin-Warner. Models: Axx RWD 2-, 3-, and 4-speed; A1xx FWD 3- and 4-speed; A2xx FWD 4-speed; A3xx RWD/4WD truck; A4xx RWD/4WD truck; A5xx FWD; A6xx RWD/4WD 5-speed; A7xx RWD/AWD/4WD truck; A8xx; A9xx RWD; AAxx RWD ...
