摘要:
A porous insert for a gearbox or transmission which retards fluid motion and flow within the device when it is subjected to rapid acceleration. The insert may be fabricated of any porous material such as open cell plastic foam, a porous ceramic or sintered metal and is shaped to conform to and is installed in a bottom rear region of the transmission housing. The insert retards motion of the fluid during rapid acceleration, preventing pump starvation and permitting a smaller charge of fluid to be placed in the gearbox or transmission.

摘要:
A powertrain includes a rotary input member such as an engine crankshaft, a torque coupling such as a hydraulic torque converter, a drive plate, such as a flex plate or spider, connecting the input member to the coupling, and an annular generator rotor having an electrical power annulus, such as an annular induction member extending around the coupling, and a mounting ring fixed to the power annulus and including means extending inward for securing the mounting ring to the coupling and to the drive plate. Several embodiments of mounting rings and assemblies are disclosed which improve methods for assembly of the powertrain.
