Q
which automatic transmission component bolts to the engine flywheel
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
The component of an automatic transmission that bolts to the engine flywheel is the torque converter. It serves a crucial role in the functioning of an automatic transmission by facilitating the connection and disconnection of the power source from the transmission. Unlike in manual transmissions, where a clutch is used for this purpose, the torque converter in automatic systems uses hydraulic fluid to transfer power from the engine to the transmission. This allows for a smooth transition of gears without the need for manual gear changing. Its design also includes features that improve the vehicle's efficiency and performance by multiplying engine torque under certain conditions, contributing to a smoother and more efficient driving experience. Understanding the function of the torque converter is essential for diagnosing issues related to automatic transmission performance.
