ABSTRACT:
An operation control system for a hydraulically operated clutch of a fluid torque converter wherein the clutch mechanically couples the input and output of the torque converter under certain conditions. Pressure chambers on either side of the clutch plate are pressurized to operate the clutch. An orifice through the clutch plate allows flow from one chamber to the other. A regulator valve is connected to both pressure chambers and is responsive thereto. The regulator valve is also responsive to external signals such as vehicle speed and throttle opening to regulate the pressure difference in the two chambers for operation of the clutch.
