 Scenario
You are supposed to be a technologist in an automotive service center. You are
facing two different vehicles with automatic transmission. Figure 1 shows the
coupling type of the automatic transmission of the first vehicle. While figure 2
shows the coupling type of the second vehicle. Each vehicle is equipped with a
different automatic transmission construction.

Figure 1 Figure 2

Task No.01
1. Describe the function and the name of each component for the couplings
shown in figure 1 and 2.
2. Describe the method of operation of each type and compare them in terms
of torque and speed ratios.
3. Explain the function of lockup clutch and in which coupling is used? Also,
Explain its operating principle.
4. Discuss the different problems caused by torque converter.
5. You have checked the coupling in the service center store and find that there
is no coupling with same dimensions. Evaluate the effect of changing the
torque converter with another one with different diameter (smaller or larger)
on vehicle performance.

 Task No.02
1. Write two different types of compound planetary gear sets used in automatic
transmission? Illustrate the construction of each type. Also, explain the
difference between them.

2. For a simple planetary gear sets shown above, calculate the reduction ratios
for the first, reverse gears and direct drive. Also, state the condition of each
gear for actuating the first and reverse gear.
3. Present as a team (maximum 5 students) a presentation showing the
procedures for disassembling the automatic transmission out from the vehicle
and disassemble of the gear sets.
4. If you found that the planet and sun gears are damaged and need replacement.
You checked the store, and the only available sun is smaller than the original
by 20%. Discuss the effect of changing the planetary gear on vehicle
performance.
