GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Turbo Hydra-Matic 350 transmission is a fully
automatic unit consisting primarily of 3-element
hydraulic torque converter and two planetary gear sets.
Four multiple-disc clutches, two roller clutches, and an
intermediate overrun band provide the friction elements
required to obtain the desired function of the two
planetary gear sets.
The 3-element torque converter consists of a pump,
turbine and a stator assembly. The stator is mounted on
a one way roller clutch which will allow the stator to turn
clockwise, but not counterclockwise. References to
clockwise and counterclockwise are determined by
looking toward rear of vehicle.
The torque converter is of welded construction and is
serviced as a complete assembly. The unit is filled with
oil and is attached to the engine crankshaft by a
flywheel, thus always rotates at engine speed. The
converter pump is an integral part of the converter
housing, therefore, the pump blades, rotating at engine
speed, set the oil within the converter into motion and
direct it to the turbine, causing the turbine to rotate.
As the oil passes throughout the turbine it is traveling in
such a direction that if it were not redirected by the
stator it would hit the rear of the converter pump blades
and impede its pumping action. So at low turbine speeds,
oil is redirected by the stator to the converter pump in
such a manner that it actually assists the converter pump
to deliver power, or multiply engine torque.
As turbine speed increases, the direction of oil leaving
the turbine changes and flows against the rear side of the
stator vanes in a clockwise direction. Since the stator is
now impeding the smooth flow of oil, its roller clutch
releases and it revolves freely on its shaft. Once the
stator becomes inactive, there is no further multiplication
of engine torque within the converter.
At this point, the converter is merely acting as a fluid
coupling as both the converter pump and turbine are
being driven at approximately the same speed.
