Auto Gear

can somebody please shed some light on this "wet plate clutch" and "clutch pack" of automatic transmission in simple terms.

Little confusing since all i knew is there's torque converter instead of clutch...

'chan5',

Early post by member Harshan Senadhira had given you a brief clear description of how the Wet clutch system operates.

You can get more details on the web by such under wet clutch. Which the shortest I found post under.

Oh you have to love this guy,

I have not said anywhere as to how the moderators on AL should do their jobs as that is not my job! What I have said is how moderators on other forums do their jobs and that I feel that AL is an exception. You seem to have got the wrong end of the stick!

Errm, That doesn't sound like telling AL mods what to do? Riiiiiiiiight.

So the post saying there is "no clutch in an automatic transmission" is correct is it????? If so do you also say that the other posts confirming that there is indeed a clutch mechanism even in an automatic transmission are also wrong? Do you also deny the exhistence of "wet-plate clutch" and "clutch packs" in an automatic transmission? Those are also incorrect is it?

I do indeed state that your statement is incorrect, why?

True, torque converter is there instead of dry clutch in a manual setup.

The wet clutch pack or friction plates are inside the gearbox and not necessarily does the job of dry clutch. As how i understood it does a job similar to synchronizers in a manual gearbox.

Basically this plate set transfers torque in the main shaft to gears in different occasions without any jerk in simple terms.

If you read the underlined, you'll understand why no doubt...

To me the acronym "STFU" is raw filth unless it is seen as somthing "entertaining" by you. As to where the post containing the acronym "STFU" is, please roll back the pages on the thread and you will see it. BTW there were a few more expletives used in that posting which now have been taken off obviously "by those concerned" for obvious reasons and this one remaining may have been missed out on!

What irks me is the double standards adopted. "Sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander" isn't it?????

I am out of this thread!

Have nice day!

If you imagine STFU to be "raw filth", or dont like being called a dumbass, then perhaps you'd be better off finding a barbie's play house forum or something? That sort of thing is not what's considered "Raw Filth" over here, sorry...

Also, good decision to leave the thread, you should have done that a while ago.

Cheers!
