TORQUE CONVERTER (WITH LOCK-UP FUNCTION)
In the same way as a conventional A/T, the torque c onverter is a system that increases the engine torque and
transmits the torque to the transaxle. A symmetr ical 3-element, 1-stage, 2-phase type is used here.
OIL PUMP
Utilizes a vane-type oil pump that is driven by the engi ne through the oil pump drive chain in order to increase
efficiency of pump discharge volume in low-speed zone and optimize pump discharge volume in high-speed
zone. Discharged oil from oil pump is transmitted to contro l valve. It is used as the oil of primary and second-
ary pulley operation, the oil of clutch operation, and the lubricant for each part.
PLANETARY GEAR
• A planetary gear type of forward/reverse selector me chanism is installed between the torque converter and
primary pulley.
• The power from the torque converter is input via the i nput shaft, operating a wet multi-plate clutch by means
of hydraulic pressure to switch between forward and reverse driving.
Operation of Planetary gear
BELT & PULLEY
It is composed of a pair of pulleys (the groove width is changed freely in the axial direction) and the steel belt
(the steel plates are placed conti nuously and the belt is guided with the multilayer steel rings on both sides).

STRUCTURE AND OPERATION
The groove width changes according to wrapping radius of
steel belt and pulley from low status to overdrive
status continuously with non-step. It is controlled wit h the oil pressures of primary pulley and secondary pulley.
Steel Belt
It is composed of multiple steel plates (A) and two steel rings (B)
stacked to a several number. The feature of this steel belt transmits
power with compression of the steel plate in contrast with transmis-
sion of power in pulling with a rubber belt. Friction force is required
with the pulley slope to transmit power from the steel plate. The force
is generated with the following mechanism:
Oil pressure applies to the secondary pulley to nip the plate. ⇒The
plate is pushed and extended outward. ⇒The steel ring shows with-
stands. ⇒Pulling force is generated on the steel ring. ⇒The plate of
the primary pulley is nipped between the pulley. ⇒Friction force is
generated between the steel belt and the pulley.
Therefore, responsibilities are divi ded by the steel plate that trans-
mits the power with compression and the steel ring that main tains necessary friction force. In this way, the
tension of the steel ring is distributed on the entire su rface and stress variation is limited, resulting in good
durability.
Pulley
The primary pulley (input shaft side) and the secondary pulley (output shaft side) have the shaft with slope
(fixed cone surface), movable sheave (movable cone surface that can move in the axial direction) and oil pres-
sure chamber at the back of the movable sheave.
