Here's a good, detailed link to the basic function of automatic transmissions. If you scroll down, you will see a variety of sub chapters. This thread would make a good sticky.

You wanna look into a neat, ALTHO 100 percent obsolete auto tranny, look into the old '56/'57 Olds 4-speed Hydro that started us on the way to hi-po- auto trannies!!

Sucker had a fluid coupling on it instead of a converter, BUT it did have 4-gears!!

And Studes had air cooled 3-speeds in them that used engine oil as ATF.
