1. General
The basic construction and operation are the same as in the previous model, but the diameter and specifications of
the torque converter have been changed.
2. Torque Converter
By making the diameter smaller, the torque converter has been reduced in size and weight and the moment of inertia
in its rotational system has been made smaller. The internal flow of fluid in the torque converter has also been
subjected to strict numerical analysis. The pump impeller, turbine runner and stator blade shape have been carefully
selected to increase the torque ratio and transmission efficiency. In this way, the powertrain performance has been
improved.
