Technical issues and repair guidelines
Engine power is converted into hydrokinetic energy and this provides smooth application or driving torque. This transmission has 3-forward and 1- reverse transmission ratio. It was constructed for operation with Type-F oil, which is not so popular today as Dexron.
The hydraulically operated control unit includes a valve location and a pump activated by the engine. The automatic gearbox includes a planetary set having 2 center gears, 3 sets of 3-epicyclic gears which can be found in a planet gear holder and follower gear.
