- THE principles of design and the operating characteristics of the Studebaker automatic transmission are presented here.The basic transmission design consists of the following major elements:
-
1.
A single-stage, three-element torque converter completely fabricated from stampings.
-
2.
Two epicyclic single-planet helical gear sets.
-
3.
Two gear-type oil pumps.
-
4.
One multiple-disc clutch.
-
5.
One single-plate disc clutch submerged in oil for direct drive.
-
6.
Three band-type clutches with suitable servo mechanisms.
-
7.
Three sprag-type freewheel units.
-
8.
One valve block assembly.
-
9.
One centrifugal mechanical governor.
Tests results and performance characteristics for the transmission are discussed briefly. -
