TRANSMISSION
The Super Turbine "300" auto-

tion torque converter, two speed
planetary g e a r e d transmission.
Torque multiplication is obtained
hydraulically through the conver-
ter, and mechanically through a
compound planetary gear set. The
gear set, in combination with the
torque converter, provides a high
starting r a t i o for acceleration
from a stop, up steep grades, etc.
The torque converter provides
4orque multiplication for per-
formance and e x c e p t i o n a l l y
