2. Torque converter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torque_converter

   There are also mechanical designs for torque converters, many of which are similar to mechanical continuously variable transmissions or capable of acting as such as well. . They include the pendulum-based Constantinesco torque converter, the Lambert friction gearing disk drive transmission and the Variomatic with expanding pulleys and a belt dri

3. Fluid coupling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_coupling

   The most prominent use of fluid couplings in aeronautical applications was in the DB 601, DB 603 and DB 605 engines where it was used as a barometrically controlled hydraulic clutch for the centrifugal compressor and the Wright turbo-compound reciprocating engine, in which three power recovery turbines extracted approximately 20 percent of the ...

4. Automated manual transmission - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automated_manual_transmission

   Automated manual transmissions can be semi-automatic or fully-automatic in operation. Several different systems to automate the clutch and/or shifting have been used over the years, but they will generally use one of the following methods of actuation for the clutch and/or shifting: hydraulic or electro-hydraulic actuation, [12] electro-mechanical, [13] pneumatic, [6] [14] [15] electromagnetic ...

5. BorgWarner T-5 transmission - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BorgWarner_T-5_transmission

   Most STD transmissions have a first gear of 3.75 to 4.10:1 for smaller-displacement engines; these so-called 4-cylinder T-5s are rated up to 240 lb⋅ft (330 N⋅m) of input torque. [ 4 ] WC transmissions initially carried the same maximum input torque rating of 265 lb⋅ft (359 N⋅m) until hardened first gears were introduced in approximately ...

6. Transmission control unit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_Control_Unit

   The internal clutch actuator in a semi-automatic transmission can be powered by either hydraulic, pneumatic, or electric means. [ 6 ] [ 7 ] Later examples of clutchless manual transmissions used in road cars include the Saab Sensonic transmission, used in the 900 NG , and the Ferrari Valeo auto-manual transmission, used in the Mondial T .

7. Transmission (mechanical device) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_(mechanical...

   The most common design of automatic transmissions is the hydraulic automatic, which typically uses planetary gearsets that are operated using hydraulics. [ 11 ] [ 12 ] The transmission is connected to the engine via a torque converter (or a fluid coupling prior to the 1960s), instead of the friction clutch used by most manual transmissions and ...
