Multi Plate Clutch
Clutch E is equalized in terms of dynamic pressure, that is to say its piston is exposed to the transmission fluid flow on both sides, in order to prevent pressure build up in the clutch as the speed increases. This equalization process is achieved by a baffle plate and pressure-free transmission fluid supply by a lubricating passage, through which the space between piston and baffle plate is filled with transmission fluid.
The advantages of this dynamic pressure equalization are:
- Reliable clutch engagement and release in all speed ranges.
- Improved shift refinement.
