In a DIWA transmission, the input torque is split between mechanical drive and which other operation?

• A. torque-converter operation
• B. automatic operation
• C. hydraulic operation
• D. electrical operation

Answer: (A)

In a DIWA transmission, the engine’s input torque is divided between a direct mechanical drive path and a hydraulic path through a torque converter. Part of the power goes through gears for direct drive, while another part is transmitted via the torque converter, which uses fluid coupling to transfer torque and provide torque multiplication at low speeds. This split lets the system deliver efficient direct transmission when cruising and smooth, forgiving power delivery during startup and shifting. The other options describe different functions (automatic shifting, purely hydraulic power, or electrical influence) and don’t capture this split between mechanical drive and torque-converter operation.
