TORQUE DIVIDER LUBRICATION

Oil for lubrication of the torque divider bearings and

the planetary gear set is from the supply used for the

operation of the torque converter. Bearings (14) are

constantly running in oil. Bearings and gears in plane-

tary gear set (15) and pilot bearing (16) get lubrication

through passages in output shaft (17). Output shaft

bearing (18) gets lubrication from normal oil leakage

by a piston ring-type seal.

Oil is pulled from the reservoir through the magnetic

screen by the oil pump. The oil pump sends pressure

oil to the oil filter. The oil goes through the filter; if

there is too much restriction, there is a bypass valve to

allow the oil to go around the filter. The oil enters the

torque divider through the inlet relief valve. Leakage

oil inside the torque divider is used for lubrication of

the torque divider components. After lubrication of the

components, the oil goes to the bottom of the torque

divider housing where the scavenge pump picks up the

oil and returns it to the reservoir in the transmission

case.
