The Saab 4-HP-18 is a four speed automatic transmission designed for front wheel drive transversely mounted engine vehicles. A fluid coupling (torque converter) is used to transmit power from the engine into the transmission via the turbine shaft. Built into the torque convener is a damper plate that connects the 3/4 clutch drum shaft mechanically to the crank shaft so as to drive the 3/4 clutch drum at crankshaft speed. The damper plate is also used to prevent a 2-3 and 3-4 shift shock. The converter also drives a positive displacement pump to provide the transmission with fluid pressure. The 4-HP-18 uses a  Ravigneaux planetary’ gear train consisting of sun gears, planet gears, 1 planet carrier and 1 ring gear. The different ratios arc obtained through this gear train by the driving and holding of specific elements in this gear set This driving and holding of specific elements in the gear set is accomplished by the use of 5 different clutch packs, 1 band and 2 one-way holding devices.
