The WA800 Torque Converter and Transmission is a component typically found in heavy-duty machinery such as construction equipment or agricultural vehicles. The system is designed to transmit power from the engine to the wheels or tracks of the machine efficiently. Here’s a basic overview of how it works: ### Torque Converter: A torque converter is a hydraulic device that transfers rotational power from the engine to the transmission. It works similarly to a manual clutch but uses fluid dynamics instead of mechanical friction. 1. **Input Shaft**: The engine drives the input shaft of the torque converter. 2. **Torque Converter Housing**: This contains the internal components and is connected to the flywheel of the engine. 3. **Impeller (Pump)**: The impeller is connected to the input shaft and rotates with the engine. As it spins, it pushes fluid towards the turbine. 4. **Turbine**: The turbine is connected to the transmission input shaft. The fluid from the impeller strikes the turbine blades, causing it to rotate and transfer power to the transmission. 5. **Stator**: The stator is a stationary component that redirects the fluid back to the impeller, increasing the efficiency of the torque conversion process. 6. **Fluid Coupling**: The fluid inside the torque converter acts as a medium for energy transfer, allowing the system to smoothly engage and disengage without a traditional clutch. ### Transmission: The transmission is responsible for managing the gear ratios between
