Chevy CK Pickup Automatic Transmission Bands & Clutches

Clutch bands and plates are designed to help transfer the power through the automatic transmission in a controlled manner. Without these parts, an automatic transmission could not function. Bands and clutches are engineered to be applied at a gradual rate measured only in microseconds while smoothing the power and torque transfer to the wheels of your Chevy CK Pickup. A band is a steel strap with a certain friction material on its inner surface. One of the ends of the band is fixed on the case while the other is attached to a servo motor. At a certain moment, ATF is sent under pressure to the servo to tighten the band placed around the drum which stops drum from turning.

A clutch pack consists of two types of alternating discs fitted in a clutch drum. There are two types of discs. Half of them are made of steel, and their shape allows them to fit into grooves inside the drum. The other half have a friction material coating and splines on their inner edge to fit into grooves of the connecting hub. There is a piston inside the drum that pushes the clutch pack together so that the two components can turn as one. Our store can offer you a wide range of Chevy CK Pickup automatic transmission bands & clutches by some of the most reputable manufacturers in the industry.
