Power transmission, general
The term "power flow" refers to the transmission paths of driving power and engine torques. The engine torques are transmitted to the drive wheels via the mechanical-hydraulic connection of the engine, start-up clutch, the downstream automatic transmission and rear axle differential.

Power is transmitted in the start-up clutch via the driven impeller by deflecting hydraulic fluid onto the turbine wheel connected to the transmission input shaft.

If the start-up clutch is engaged, then the power flows via this mechanical connection. Via the gearwheels of the individual planetary gear sets the torques coming from the start-up clutch, depending on the gear ratio and operated shift elements, are passed on to the transmission output shaft via the multidisk clutches and multidisk brakes.

A reduction of the output speed in the low gears provides lower vehicle speeds with high tractive forces and drive torques at the drive wheels.
