Additional information can be found in the Self Study Program, No. 851503, 6-Speed Automatic Transmission 09G/09M Design and Function

Transmission 

The 6 speed automatic transmission 09M has 6 hydraulically controlled forward gears. By passing the torque converter slip, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th gears become mechanically driven gears if the lockup clutch is closed.

Torque Converter 

The torque converter is equipped with a slip controlled torque converter lockup clutch. The lockup clutch closes depending on load and speed. The 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th gears can be mechanically driven (without slip).
