A gerotor motor star has six teeth and seven lobes. The spaces amongst them are pressure chambers. Pump fluid flows into these pockets, creating high strain in one chamber and low pressure in another. This creates an imbalance of forces, which causes the gerotor motor star to rotate, or orbit.

The clutches within the transmission are just a little more complex. On this transmission there are 4 clutches. Every clutch is actuated by pressurized hydraulic fluid that enters a piston contained in the clutch. Springs make it possible for the clutch releases when the pressure is lowered. Below you possibly can see the piston and the clutch drum. Notice the rubber seal on the piston — this is among the components that is replaced when your transmission gets rebuilt.

To profit from the brand new greater-performance tires and for higher directional management in hard stops, entrance suspension geometry was reworked to incorporate «zero scrub radius.» This means a steering axis that intersects the highway at the exact center of the tire’s contact patch, reasonably than outboard (constructive scrub radius), as on previous Corvettes, or inboard of it (unfavourable scrub radius) as on some European automobiles.
