Wikipedia

  1. Fluid Drive

    Fluid Drive is the trademarked name that Chrysler Corporation assigned to a transmission driveline combination which replaced the flywheel with a hydraulic coupling and performed the same function as a modern torque converter, only without torque multiplication. A conventional clutch and three- or four-speed manual transmission was installed behind the fluid coupling. Fluid drive was used in many military vehicles produced for the US Armed Forces during the Second World War. It was offered for civilian use from 1939 through 1953 in Chryslers, 1940 through 1953 in DeSotos, and from 1941 through 1954 in Dodge models; a semi-automatic system was optional from Chrysler and Desoto from 1941, and for Dodge from 1949.

  1. fluid drive

    Fluid drive, also known as fluid coupling, is a device used in mechanical power transmission systems, where it uses hydraulic fluid under pressure to transmit rotating mechanical power between different parts. It essentially relies on the hydrodynamic property of a fluid to transfer torque from one shaft to another. This allows for smooth acceleration, protection from overloads, and isolation of driven components from shock and vibration. It is commonly used in vehicles, conveyors, machinery, and industrial equipment.
