Automatic transmissions they're pretty much black magic. The sheer


number of moving parts makes them very difficult to comprehend. Let's
simplify it a bit to get a basic understanding of how it all works in a
traditional, torque converter-based system.
Your engine connects to your transmission at a place called a bell housing.
The bell housing contains a torque converter for automatic transmissionequipped vehicles as opposed to a clutch on manual vehicles. The torque
converter is a fluid coupling whose job it is to connect your engine to your
transmission and thus to your driven wheels. The transmission contains
planetary gearsets which are in charge of providing different gear ratios. To
get a good understanding of how the whole automatic transmission system
works, let's have a look at torque converters and planetary gearsets.
