What function do clutches and bands serve in an automatic transmission?

• To cool the transmission fluid

• To lock different gears into place

• To increase the torque output

• To filter contaminants from the transmission fluid

Answer explanation

Clutches and bands in an automatic transmission serve to lock different gears into place.

What is the function of the torque converter in an automatic transmission system?

• It decouples the engine from the wheels.

• It couples the engine to the transmission system.

• It controls the vehicle's speed.

• It filters the transmission fluid.

Answer explanation

The torque converter couples the engine to the transmission system, allowing for the transfer of power and torque between the engine and the transmission.
