Transcription: Now let's discuss an automatic transmission. As we can see here in the illustration, the power in the engine is made by a series of explosions in the cylinders which turn the crankshaft and make spinning power at the flex plate. The torque converter, which connects to the flex plate, takes this spinning power and utilizes three converters or fans to stir up the transmission fluid and develop hydraulic pressure inside the transmission so that the gears can be changed. When engine speed is low, So, only the impeller fan, which is driven by the spinning flex plate and the turbine fan, which drive ...
