Items marked by the "viscous coupling unit" tag:

It is important to understand that the off-road qualities of any car directly depend not only on the engine, but also on the implemented transmission drive system. In this article, we will consider Easy Select and Super Select drive systems installed in SUVs produced by Mitsubishi.

The Viscous Coupling (VC) is the transmission component intended for transmission and leveling of torque from the center drive shaft to the front differential, and on to the front wheels. In contrast to the hydraulic coupling and torque converter, the VC uses a different operating principle: torque is transmitted not through dynamic properties of fluid flow, but thanks to viscous properties of the fluid, which fills the internal space of the VC.
