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

The clutches within the transmission are a bit more complex. In 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 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 will get rebuilt.

To benefit from the brand new higher-efficiency tires and for better directional management in exhausting stops, entrance suspension geometry was reworked to incorporate «zero scrub radius.» This means a steering axis that intersects the highway at the precise center of the tire’s contact patch, slightly than outboard (positive scrub radius), as on previous Corvettes, or inboard of it (unfavorable scrub radius) as on some European automobiles.
