- ~\,i ib(:The automatic transmission fitted to the Bentley T and
Rolls Royce (1966-1969) is basically a General Motors
Hydramatic with a few modifications and a bigge~ case. It
works on the principal of a fluid fly wheel or d rive torus,
connected to two gear sets, one giving a large reduction and
one a small one. There is an extra gear set in the rear unit
which provides a reverse ratio in conjunction with the rear
unit, this I will deal with later.
, ,
In first ~earthe front and rear units are held still by
the bands. Botp units are in reduction giving maximum
reduction.~
When the car shits to second gear,the front
'""*"unit is freed by releas~ing" the band and a clutch is. n
applied which puts the front unit in direct drive, ~he rear
unit is still in reduction so the unit with the",li,3.rgest"" .'
reduction is now working giving second gear. In third gear

the situation is reversed, the front clutch isrele~~~g and

The Drive Torus
This must not be considered as a torque convertor.
& ~
It is
completely different in as much as there is no stator and
no multiplication of torque.
The cover of the torus revolves with the engine and is supplied
with oil from the front pump.
Two torus members of similar shape and size face each other
in the oil filled cover. As the speed of the driving member
increases the force on the driven member also increases and
drive is taken up between 500 and 1000 RPM, above 1000 R.P.M
the torus forms an efficient yet still flexible coupling
between the engine and gearbox.
The fluid coupling although being housed is not driven by the
flywheel directly. The drive is directed by the outside of
the torus to the front planetary unit, and then back via planet
carrier to the rear torus member. This means that a reduction
has already taken place and because of that the driven unit is
less likely to creep at low speeds. This unusual feature further
increases the efficiency of the transmission when the car is in
third and top gear. As you will remember to obtain direct drive
it is necessary to lock two members together. In the rear gear
set the two members are not locked together directly but the
annulus is locked by the clutch in the rear unit to the centre
section of the front planet carrier which is driven by the
front ring gear. The rear unit sungear is driven by the front
torus member and rotates at the same speed as the front unitplanet carrier which is the same speed as the rear unit ring gear.
Even though the effect is the same as if front and back units
were locked together part of the drive is transmitted hydraulically
through the coupling and the rest directly to the rear units clutch
and then on to the output shaft. This reduces the amount of
torque loss in the fluid cotlpling. The different r.p.m. between
the two couplings is taken up by the differential action of the!~
planet wheels.

Replace seals on cone clutch p~ston ensur~ng that the alum~n~um
