The torque converter hydraulically transmits the
output torque from the engine to the input shaft of
the transmission.
The stator increases the torque up to the clutch
point (approx. 90
% speed difference between the
impeller and the turbine wheel).
In order to increase the efficiency of the automatic
transmission, the torque converter is also equipped
with a hydraulically activated TCC
The TCC is applied with slip to ensure soft
engagement.
i
When the TCC is engaged, the torque is '..
transmitted directly from the crankshaft via the
torque converter housing to the transmission input
shaft.

The transmission is equipped with three clutches
and five brakes. The brakes
are three multi-plate brakes and two
one-way sprag clutches.
The clutches serve to transmit the torque from the
transmission input
shaft to certain components of
the planetary
gearset.
The brakes serve to hold certain components of
the planetary
gearset.
In order to achieve a given transmission ratio, it is
necessary for at least one component of the
planetary
gearset to be held while the torque is
transmitted to another component.
These combinations produce the different
transmission ratios for the individual gears.
