STATOR
Torque multiplication is achieved by locking the
stator's over-running clutch to its shaft (Fig. 338).
Under stall conditions (the turbine is stationary), the
oil leaving the turbine blades strikes the face of the
stator blades and tries to rotate them in a counter-
clockwise direction. When this happens the over±run-
ning clutch of the stator locks and holds the stator
from rotating. With the stator locked, the oil strikes
the stator blades and is redirected into a ªhelpingº
direction before it enters the impeller. This circula-
tion of oil from impeller to turbine, turbine to stator,
and stator to impeller, can produce a maximum
torque multiplication of about 2.4:1. As the turbine
begins to match the speed of the impeller, the fluid
that was hitting the stator in such as way as to
cause it to lock±up is no longer doing so. In this con-
dition of operation, the stator begins to free wheel
and the converter acts as a fluid coupling.
TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH (TCC)
In a standard torque converter, the impeller and
turbine are rotating at about the same speed and the
stator is freewheeling, providing no torque multipli-
cation. By applying the turbine's piston to the front
cover's friction material, a total converter engage-ment can be obtained. The result of this engagement
is a direct 1:1 mechanical link between the engine
and the transmission.

1ST GEAR
Engine power is transmitted to the input shaft via
the clutch assembly and the input shaft turns. The
input shaft first gear is integral to the input shaft,
and is in constant mesh with the intermediate shaft
first speed gear. Because of this constant mesh, the
intermediate shaft first speed gear freewheels untilfirst gear is selected. As the gearshift lever is moved
to the first gear position, the 1-2 fork moves the 1-2
synchronizer sleeve towards first gear on the inter-
mediate shaft. The synchronizer sleeve engages the
first gear clutch teeth, fixing the gear to the interme-
diate shaft, and allowing power to transmit through
the intermediate shaft to the differential (Fig. 4).

2ND GEAR
Engine power is transmitted to the input shaft via
the clutch assembly and the input shaft turns. The
input shaft second gear is integral to the input shaft,
and is in constant mesh with the intermediate shaft
second speed gear. Because of this constant mesh,
the intermediate shaft second speed gear freewheels
until second gear is selected. As the gearshift lever ismoved to the second gear position, the 1-2 fork moves
the 1-2 synchronizer sleeve towards second gear on
the intermediate shaft. The synchronizer sleeve
engages the second gear clutch teeth, fixing the gear
to the intermediate shaft, and allowing power to
transmit through the intermediate shaft to the differ-
ential (Fig. 5).

3RD GEAR
Engine power is transmitted to the input shaft via
the clutch assembly and the input shaft turns. The
input shaft third speed gear is in constant mesh with
the intermediate shaft 3-4 cluster gear, which is fixed
to the intermediate shaft. Because of this constant
mesh, the input shaft third speed gear freewheelsuntil third gear is selected. As the gearshift lever is
moved to the third gear position, the 3-4 fork moves
the 3-4 synchronizer sleeve towards third gear on the
input shaft. The synchronizer sleeve engages the
third gear clutch teeth, fixing the gear to the input
shaft, and allowing power to transmit through the
intermediate shaft to the differential (Fig. 6).

4TH GEAR
Engine power is transmitted to the input shaft via
the clutch assembly and the input shaft turns. The
input shaft fourth speed gear is in constant mesh
with the intermediate shaft 3-4 cluster gear, which is
fixed to the intermediate shaft. Because of this con-
stant mesh, the input shaft fourth speed gear free-
wheels until fourth gear is selected. As the gearshiftlever is moved to the fourth gear position, the 3-4
fork moves the 3-4 synchronizer sleeve towards
fourth gear on the input shaft. The synchronizer
sleeve engages the fourth gear clutch teeth, fixing
the gear to the input shaft, and allowing power to
transmit through the intermediate shaft to the differ-
ential (Fig. 7).

5TH GEAR
Engine power is transmitted to the input shaft via
the clutch assembly and the input shaft turns. The
input shaft fifth gear is pressed on to the input shaft,
and is in constant mesh with the intermediate shaft
fifth speed gear. Because of this constant mesh, the
intermediate shaft fifth speed gear freewheels untilfifth gear is selected. As the gearshift lever is moved
to the fifth gear position, the 5-R fork moves the 5-R
synchronizer sleeve towards the intermediate shaft
fifth speed gear. The synchronizer sleeve engages the
fifth gear clutch teeth, fixing the gear to the input
shaft, and allowing power to transmit through the
intermediate shaft to the differential (Fig. 8).
