How to use the handbook, then the C6 operation: a three-speed transmission with six selector positions, parking pawl and forced downshifts. The torque converter section describes the impeller, turbine and stator, vortex and rotary flow, torque multiplication (2.1 to 1 at full stall), the coupling phase at about 9/10 impeller speed and the one-way stator clutch.

What this section covers

  • C6 operation and selector positions
  • Parking pawl
  • Forced downshifts (kickdown)
