This video is intended for students in the online AUSV 2520 Automatic Transmissions class at Weber State University in Ogden, Utah. This class is normally taught face-to-face, but due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, I am attempting to offer the class material online. Suggested quiz questions are shown below the video timeline. You should have watched the following Planetary Gear Set video first    • Planetary Gear Set Operation - AUSV 2520  

This video covers basic operation and function of clutches, bands, and one-way devices in automatic transmissions.
