The
torque
converter
houses
a
pump,
turbine,
pressure
plate
which
is
splined
to
the
turbine,
and
a
stator
assembly,
serving
as
a
fluid
coupling, it
smoothly
transmits
power
from
the
engine
to
the
transaxle.
It
also
hydraulically
provides
a
additional
torque
when
required.
When
applied,
the
pressure
plate
provides
a
mechanical
torque
when
required.
When
applied,
the
pressure
plate
provides
a
mechanical
direct
drive coupling
of
the
engine
to
the
transaxle.

n
The
two
planetary
gear
sets
provide
the
four
forward
gear
ratios
and
reverse.
Changing
of
the
gear
ratios
is
fully
automatic
and
is
accomplished
through
the
use
of
various
electronic
and
mechanical
requirements.
Four
multiple
disc
clutches,
two
roller
clutches,
a
sprag
clutch,
and
three
bands
provide
the
friction elements
required
to
obtain
the
various
ratios
with
the
planetary
gear
sets.
A
hydraulic
system
(the
control
valve
body)
pressurized
by
a
vein
type
pump
provides
the
working
pressure
needed
to
operate
the
friction
elements
and
automatic
controls.
Front Suspension
Your
fully
independent
front
suspension is
a
combination
strut
and
spring
design.
The
frame
is
isolated
from
the
body
with
six
rubber
mounts.
