Automatic Trans Question

[Joshaha]

how does fluid get to the clutch i'm confused about this i know it pass through the valve body then where does it go

[maxwedge]

What clutch?

[Joshaha]

The Fluid clutches just like the one for my overdrive gear

[Crvett69]

if its a automatic there is a pump on the front of the transmission that is driven by the torque convertor snout. the pump forces the fluid around inside the transmission to all the parts and clutches as needed

The last sentence in the link I provided said, "The pressure for the clutches is fed through passageways in the shafts. "

Just sayin....
