You mean former?  From the pictures, it's a centrifugal
device.  There must be a hydraulic line to and from it.
You can't really see in the Bentley, but the fact that there
is a big gasket between the tranny and the diff housing
is a clue that the lines are there somewhere.  Seems like
it's what gives the 'shift now' signal to the tranny.
