Power from diesel engine (1) is sent from the flywheel to torque converter (2). The torque converter (impeller clutch) has a lockup clutch (if equipped). The lockup clutch provides direct drive capability. Inside the torque converter, an impeller is fastened to the hub of a hydraulically activated clutch. The impeller clutch allows a controlled reduction in the torque transmitting capacity of the converter. This places a limit on the amount of torque converter output.
Note: The lockup clutch is standard on the 854K Wheel Dozer. The lockup clutch is not standard on the 992K Wheel Loader.
The power train electronic control module (ECM) and the select switch for reduced rimpull control the impeller clutch. The left service brake pedal is also used to vary the amount of torque converter capacity in order to control the wheel slip. The left service brake pedal also varies the amount of torque converter capacity in order to increase the hydraulic system response.
The lockup clutch is controlled by the power train (ECM). When the lockup clutch is enabled, the power train ECM determines when the lockup clutch is engaged.
Power from the output shaft of the torque converter is sent through drive shaft (3) to input transfer gears (4). The output gear of the transfer gears turns the input shaft of the transmission (5).
Five clutches in the transmission, which are activated hydraulically, provide three forward speeds and three reverse speeds. Speed and direction are selected by using the STIC Steering and Transmission Control.
The transmission output shaft sends power through the idler gears in transfer gears (12) to the output gear of the transfer gears. The output gear sends power through drive shaft (11) to rear drive pinion (10). The output gear also sends power to front drive pinion (14) through drive shaft (6) and drive shaft (7) and through bearing cage (13).
Each pinion, bevel gear, and differential gear has a specific axle. Each gear turns a specific axle. The axles are connected to final drives (8) and (15). The final drives turn the wheels.
