neil and ethan Posted February 25, 2018 Report Posted February 25, 2018 I am assuming , there is no real oil cooler in the car application. am I wrong . we were wondering why the bell housing was vented so well. maybe that is why . Quote
Dan Hiebert Posted February 25, 2018 Report Posted February 25, 2018 Never knew those old deuce-and-a-halves had a fluid coupling. Never had to drive one, but always wondered why a soldier that could drive everything else had to have special training for it. I do remember being told it was different than a "regular" vehicle. That is a neat video, thanks for posting! Quote
Dodgeb4ya Posted February 26, 2018 Report Posted February 26, 2018 (edited) The Mopar Fluid Drives use no Vortex motion in their operation...as does the GM coupling demonstrated in the film. Our FD cars might perform a little better if like the more complicated design of the GM version. Shown is a cut apart 1948 Chrysler Fluid Drive Coupling... just two halves of a grapefruit with simple straight vanes... no oil channeling or cooling sumps and pressure dump valves.
