Glossary “coupling yoke” Definition:
Two integral or separate Y-shaped components to which the universal-joint bearing cups are attached.
coupling phase
Glossary “coupling phase” Definition:
The point in torque converter operation where the turbine speed is 90% or greater that of the impeller speed, and there is no longer any torque multiplication.
coupling
Glossary “coupling” Definition:
An attachment where one mechanism or part drives another mechanism or part, to follow the movements of the first.
