A(n)____________________ holds components of the planetary gear set.

The ____________________ delivers power from a transmission or transaxle.

Describe the components of a planetary gear set and what different speeds it can provide.

List the three types of valves and their functions in the valve body.

The Lepelletier design of planetary gear sets are used in some six- and seven-speed transmissions.

A slipping forward clutch may cause a delay in the shift of all forward gears.

The ____________________ regulates and directs fluid flow using a poppet.
