fluid drive

Fluid Drive continued but the four speed semi-automatic was now offered.

A fluid drive automatic became an available option and the front end was redesigned.

The reversing gear is combined with the fluid drive and serves to change the direction or running.

DeSoto was offering sedans at $895 with its new "fluid drive" transmission.

Fluid Drive was offered for the first time, mated to a three-speed manual transmission.

The presence of Fluid Drive, however, prevented the driver stalling when taking off from a dead stop.

The "Prestomatic" fluid drive transmission had two forward ranges, each with two speeds.

The fluid drive system allowed the driver to stop at a light or in traffic and remain in gear without depressing the clutch.

Some of the early projects included scale model kitchen sets and a training model of Chrysler's fluid drive transmission.

The Earth's tides are a "fluid drive" connection between the motor-generator-battery Earth, and the governor Moon.

If the Fluid Drive was mated to a manual transmission, the driver still needed to use the clutch to shift between any of the gears.

With the Fluid Drive coupling, the car could be brought to a halt in gear without releasing the clutch and would creep like an automatic.

It must be emphasized that Fluid Drive was not a transmission, only a fluid coupling between the engine and clutch.

The engine continued to be the 323.5-cid straight eight coupled to Fluid Drive and the Prestomatic four-speed semi-automatic.

The application of the clutch locks the turbine to the impeller, causing all power transmission to be mechanical, thus eliminating losses associated with fluid drive.

The standard Fluid Drive configuration consisted of the fluid coupling and a manual transmission and clutch in tandem.

Postwar Chryslers continued to offer Fluid Drive, with the New Yorker now offering the true four speed semi-automatic transmission.

F-14s provided combat air patrols during Operation Fluid Drive, the evacuation of U.S. citizens from Beirut, Lebanon in 1976.

Proceeding back into the eastern Mediterranean on 11 July to conduct a missile exercise north of Crete, the ship continued to maintain responsibility for "Fluid Drive."

This the Saratoga offered Fluid Drive and the eight-cylinder version of Vacamatic which consisted of a three-speed transmission mated to an overdrive unit.

A Fluid Drive Dodge with Gyromatic was far cheaper than a Hydramatic-equipped Pontiac, and had the effect of making city taxi-driving far easier.

The New Yorker also offered Fluid Torque Drive, a true torque converter, in place of Fluid Drive.

The fluid drive element was a hydraulic coupling inserted in place of the flywheel, and performed the same function as a modern torque converter, only without torque multiplication.

This might be an adjustable frequency AC controller, a DC motor and drive, a steam turbine driver, or a hydraulic variable speed drive unit ("fluid drive").

Also offered was Hydraguide power steering, an industry first, and Fluid Torque Drive, a true torque converter in place of Fluid Drive's fluid coupling.
