5.3.8 Automatic transmission assembly
However, the torque converter is only one part of the system. It is necessary to introduce stages with different gear ratios in order to achieve all those parameters that a manual transmission has. And the more of these same stages, the more efficient the use of engine power and torque in various road conditions. Planetary gears are used in order to provide such conditions.
Note
Figures 5.21 and 5.22 illustrate the complexity of an automatic transmission.
