Oil circuit
The function of the oil is:
– to transmit the engine output to the gearbox. The torque
converter can multiply the engine torque by up to three
times, but at the expense of the speed rotation.
– to apply the clutches in the gearbox.
– to dissipate the heat from the torque converter.
– to lubricate the gearbox and the torque converter.
– transport any solid particles to the filter.
When the engine is running, the oil pump draws oil through a suc-
tion strainer from the gearbox sump and then delivers it through
a fine filter to a pressure regulating valve.
The regulating valve delivers oil at the right pressure to the gear-
box valve body, which actuates the clutch plates for Forward/Re-
verse and 1st/2nd/3rd/4th. The clutches use only a small
proportion of oil delivered by the pump. The remainder is fed
through the torque converter circuit to the oil cooler, and returns
to the gearbox for lubrication.
