Abstract
This paper reviews the installation of automatic transmissions into vehicles, and the matching calibration of the transmission and converters to various types of engines and vehicles. Bench and field acceptance testing, with some reference to transmission manufacturers' approval of fluid and materials, are also discussed, and unorthodox automatic transmissions such as transaxle in-line and transverse, are reviewed. The paper finally examines volume production techniques of today's automatic transmissions and presents some remarks on future trends and requirements.
