C5 Chevrolet Corvette Parts – Transmission – Automatic

Fifth-generation Corvettes are known for powerful performance. If you want to get the most out of your C5, consider upgrading its automatic transmission. Top Flight Automotive has an extensive inventory of C5 automatic transmission parts that take your driving experience to the next level.

What Is a C5 Automatic Transmission?

C5 Corvette automatic transmissions are marvels of modern engineering, which makes cars easier and more convenient to operate. These complex systems change gears automatically, unlike manual transmissions that require the driver to shift.

An automatic transmission is made up of numerous components. Some of its key parts include the following:

• Torque Converter

A torque converter is a fluid coupling that attaches between the transmission and the engine. It uses fluid to power the transmission. This allows it to change gears and prevent your vehicle from stalling.

• Planetary Gears

Planetary gears are part of the gear train. They roll smoothly against each other and create a transition from one gear to the next.

• Brake Bands

Brake bands are steel bands that wrap around the gear train. They help the car change gears by holding one planetary gear in place while allowing another to rotate.
