D i A G N O S i N G A U T O M AT i C T R A N S M i S S i O N P R O P E R T i E S H Y DRO S TAT IC T R A N SMI S SION S A hydrostatic transmission uses fluid to transfer power from the engine to the drivetrain through a hydraulic pump and motor. Most use a variable displacement pump or motor in order to vary speed, torque, or power and to provide transmission function. Therefore, the fluid used in a hydrostatic transmission needs to function only as a hydraulic fluid; there are no clutches or gears to lubricate.
