What is the function of the automatic transmission clutch?
1 Answers
Automatic transmission clutch functions: 1. Gradually engage the engine with the transmission to ensure smooth vehicle starting; 2. Temporarily disconnect the engine from the transmission to facilitate gear shifting and reduce shifting impact; 3. Provide separation during emergency braking to prevent overload of the transmission and other drivetrain components, offering certain protective effects. The automatic transmission is a device that automatically shifts gears based on engine RPM, developed as an alternative to manual transmissions. There are four common types of automotive automatic transmissions: hydraulic automatic transmission, continuously variable transmission (CVT), electronically controlled mechanical automatic transmission, and dual-clutch automatic transmission.
