Drive Chain and Sprockets
A chain drive transfers torque from the torque converter turbine to the planetary gearsets. The chain drive is composed of the following components:
- drive sprocket
- driven sprocket
- drive chain
The transaxle case has a support for the drive sprocket that also serves as the support for the torque converter stator. A driven sprocket support mounts in the barrel of the transaxle case and also supports the clutches and gearset components.
