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.

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.
