  Hydramatic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
During the war the Hydramatic (mated to a Cadillac V8 engine) was used in a variety of military vehicles, including the M5 Stuart tank and the M24 Chaffee light tank.
Hydramatic is now a trade name for GM's automatic transmission division, which produces a variety of later transmissions, the most notable of which is the Turbo-Hydramatic from the 1960s to the 1990s.
The Hydramatic used a two-element, hydrodynamic fluid coupling (not a torque converter, which has at least three elements, the pump, turbine and stator) and three planetary gearsets, providing four forward speeds plus reverse.

 Turbo-Hydramatic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
By 1980 usage in GM passenger cars was on a decline because of the 1973 Arab Oil Embargo where the Hydramatic 200-4R and 700R4 overdrives were phased in.
In late 1967 the Chevrolet Motor Division introduced a lighter duty version of the THM400 for use in the 1968 Camaro -- the THM350 (the numerical ID is relative to the torque capacity).
Around 1980, GM's Hydramatic division decided to incorporate an overdrive gear, and using the THM200 as a base, the Hydramatic 200-4R was born.

The HydraMatic was replaced in the early `60`s and you need someone who has a LOT of experience with them, the kind of experience you get working on them every week like when LOTS of cars that are driven every day are still using them.
The HydraMatic is a mechanical shift transmission, that means it shifts dependant upon throttle position and load.

Hydramatic pool cover systems have the hydraulic powerpack - the pump which drives the two motors, and the electric controls located at the pool equipment pad along with the filter and other pool equipment.
Because the hydraulic pool cover controls are remote and the system is waterproof there is less need to have ready access to the pool cover mechanism recess (i.e., clean the drain, adjust the brakes, change or replace the shearpins).
Hydramatic pool cover systems have been independently tested by an Engineering test lab and found to exceed standards.

Hydramatic was truly clutchless and, after successful guinea-pigging on the public, was offered the following year in the 1941 Cadillacs as well.
Hydramatic worked much better with Cadillac's old flathead V-8, and really took off when GM introduced its high-compression OHV V-8's for '49 Olds and Cadillac models.
In the postwar period, Hydramatic spread to Pontiac for 1948.

 ClassicOldsmobile Archive: Automatic Transmission Comparison :: -
At the time of the early Hydramatic when other companies were trying to catch up, it was thought that a two speed automatic with torque converter was a superior design compared to the four speed with fluid coupling design of the Hydramatic.
1955 and earlier Hydramatics have only one, which means that from a performance perspective you can get firmer shifts out of the 1955 and earlier transmissions than the later ones.
This happens because the secondary fluid coupling on 1956 and later transmissions is an integral part of the transmisssion, and can't be removed for the transmission to work.

Basically, this is the system that allows manual shifting of an automatic by "bumping" the shifter handle up or down (or left or right, depending) for individual shifts.
Similar technologies were incorporated into the Hydramatic six-speed automatic, also on display.
This unit is designed for trucks and is significantly more durable than the 5L50-E. The six-speed was actually introduced as a transmission family, as several versions will be put into production for varying applications, none of which were yet specified.
