FlGwith roller-type one-way clutch ( 
The torque converter hydraulically transmits  the 
output torque from the engine  to the input shaft of 
the  transmission. 
The stator increases the torque up  to the  clutch 
point (approx. 90 
% speed difference  between the 
impeller  and the turbine wheel). 
In  order  to increase  the efficiency  of the automatic 
transmission, the torque converter  is also equipped 
with a hydraulically activated  TCC 
The  TCC  is applied with  slip to ensure soft 
engagement. 
i 
When  the TCC  is engaged,  the torque is '.. 
transmitted directly  from the crankshaft via the 
torque converter housing  to the transmission input 
shaft.

The drive is transmitted from the torque converter 
(I) on the  one  hand  to the  transmission input shaft 
(2) and  via the  1st-3rd  gear clutch (3) to the small 
sun  gear 
(4), and  on the other hand from the 
transmission input shaft  via the 
3rdl4th gear  clutch 
(17)  to the planet gear carrier  (6). 
As  the drive  is transmitted to two components 
simultaneously,  there are no relative  movements 
within the planetary 
gearset. The  planetary gearset 
rotates  as a complete unit. 
N0TE:The 2nd-4th gear  brake (1 3) remains 
engaged, but  the large sun  gear 
(I 5) can rotate in 
the  same  direction  of rotation  as the  output from 
the  engine  by means  of the  2nd  gear  one-way 
clutch 
(14), as  a result of which  the 2nd-4th gear 
brake  has no influence on the transmission ratio. 
The Annulus  (1 
0) is fixedly  connected  to the output 
wheel  of the  planetary 
gearset and  drives  the 
intermediate gear stage  (1 1 
) in the  opposite 
direction  of rotation to  the output from the  engine. 
The intermediate gear stage drives  the differential 
assembly (12)  in the same  direction of rotation  as 
the output from  the engine.
