What are the parts of an automatic transmission?

In this video I cover the operation of clutches, bands, accumulators, clutch drums, the oil pump, the valve body, valves, check balls, seals and ‘o’ rings, as well as the construction and function of many of the internal hard parts of an automatic transmission.

How are gears engaged in an automatic transmission?

In an automatic transmission, however, the gears are never physically moved and are always engaged to the same gears. This is accomplished through the use of planetary gear sets. The basic planetary gear set consists of a sun gear, a ring gear and two or more planet gears, all remaining in constant mesh.

Why are transmission and transfer case assembly diagrams free?

These free illustrations can assist you in identification of the correct parts that you may need, you can also use these illustrations to assist you with proper re-assembly of your unit. If you don’t see the Transmission and Transfer Case Assembly Diagrams & Parts Illustrations that you need just give us a call and we still may be able to help you.

How is a hydraulic transmission different from a manual transmission?

A hydraulic automatic transmission uses planetary (epicyclic) gearsets instead of the manual transmission’s design of gears lined up along input, output and intermediate shafts. To change gears, the hydraulic automatic uses a series of internal clutches or friction bands or brake packs.

What are the different types of automatic transmission?

There are basically five types of automatic transmissions. Torque Converter. Continuously Variable Transmission. Dual-Clutch Transmission. Automated Manual Transmission. Koenigsegg’s Light Speed Transmission.

What are the main parts of the automatic transmission?

  • Pump (aka impeller). The pump looks like a fan. It has a bunch of blades radiating from its center.
  • Turbine. The turbine sits inside the converter housing.
  • Stator (aka Reactor). The stator sits between the pump and turbine.
  • power is lost as the transmission fluid goes from the pump to the turbine.

    What is inside an automatic transmission?

    The modern automatic transmission is by far, the most complicated mechanical component in today’s automobile. Automatic transmissions contain mechanical systems, hydraulic systems, electrical systems and computer controls, all working together in perfect harmony which goes virtually unnoticed until there is a problem.

    What are the components of automatic transmission?

    8 Parts of an Automatic Transmission (and Their Functions) Friction Clutch – The friction clutch connects the gears to the drive shaft. It basically allows the engine and input shaft to rotate at the same exact speeds. Bands – The bands keep the gears in a stagnate position. Spring-Loaded Valve – The spring-loaded valve is linked to the drive wheels.
