INTRODUCTION

• The hydraulic system enables an automatic transmission to operate automatically.

• The basic function of the hydraulic control system is to:– Schedule shifts to optimize engine performance,– Provide the best gear ratio for the driving conditions,– Safely shift into reverse when requested– Provide driver control of the operating ranges,– Provide engine braking to help control vehicle speed on

downgrades,– Lock or unlock the torque converter clutch.

INTRODUCTION

FIGURE 7-3 The switch valve (a) will shift the fluid flow from circuit 1 to circuit 2 when the controlling pressure increases. This regulator valve has two servo valves (TV boost, and D2 and rev. boost) (b), which cause a pressure increase when the throttle is opened or when the transmission is shifted into D2 or reverse. This regulator valve (c) controls supply pressure to become mainline pressure.

PRESSURE DEVELOPMENT AND CONTROL

• As soon as the engine starts, the torque converter hub drives the transmission pump to produce fluid flow.

• Pressure is created by resistance to fluid flow. • This pressure is called:

– Line– Mainline– Supply– Control pressure

PRESSURE DEVELOPMENT AND CONTROL

FIGURE 7-4 Many pressure regulator valves have three positions. (a) The spring has moved the valve to the bottom of the bore. (b) Line pressure is moving the valve upward, opening the passage to the torque converter (circle). (c) Increased line pressure has moved the valve upward to where it can release pressure to the pump inlet (circle). Note that boost pressure in either of the two upper ports can cause a pressure increase.

TORQUE CONVERTER, OIL COOLER, AND LUBRICATION CIRCUIT• As soon as the supply circuit begins to develop

pressure, the regulator valve moves slightly and opens a passage to the torque converter.

• This fluid flow serves several purposes:– It ensures that the torque converter is filled so it can

transmit torque from the engine to the transmission’s input shaft.

– It helps control converter fluid temperature.– It provides lubrication for the moving parts inside the

transmission

THROTTLE PRESSURE

• A circuit carrying a throttle pressure signal is always available while the engine is running in most transmissions.

• Throttle valves are pressure-regulating valves, and they provide a pressure signal that is proportionate to the load on the engine

THROTTLE PRESSURE

FIGURE 7-22 The throttle valve produces a pressure signal that is directly related to throttle opening or engine load. This pressure signal is used to control line pressure so that line pressure increases as the throttle is opened.

MANUAL VALUE

• The manual valve controls the fluid flow to the band servos, clutch apply pistons, and the shift valves for the various forward and reverse gears. – This valve is also called a selector valve.

GOVERNOR VALVE

• The transmission will begin transferring power and rotating the output shaft when the selector lever is moved to drive, intermediate, or low.

• When the output shaft starts turning, the governor spins with it.

• The governor is either shaft mounted (attached directly onto the output shaft) or case mounted (driven by a gear on the output shaft).

GOVERNOR VALVE

FIGURE 7-33 The ideal governor pressure signal increases in exact proportion to vehicle speed, but a simple governor produces a signal that is too low at intermediate speeds or too high at higher speeds. The pressure signal from a two-stage governor comes closer to matching vehicle speed.

GOVERNOR VALVE

• Governor valve assemblies are manufactured in four basic styles.

• Two are shaft mounted, and two are case mounted:– Shaft mounted with the weight(s) opposing the valve– Shaft mounted with a primary and secondary valve– Case mounted with a pair of primary and secondary

weights – Case-mounted bleed-off system

SHIFT VALVES

• An upshift or downshift occurs when the shift valves move.

• Shift valves are balanced between the governor pressure trying to move the valve to cause an upshift and the spring plus throttle pressure trying to resist an upshift.

SUMMARY

1. An automatic transmission monitors vehicle load and speed to determine shift timing and quality.

2. Various types of valves are used to direct the fluid flow and regulate the pressures used to operate the transmission.

3. The torque converter is a hydraulic coupling that connects the engine to the transmission. It also has a hydraulically operated lock-up clutch that, when applied, makes a mechanical connection between the engine and transmission.

Page 67: OBJECTIVES

SUMMARY

4. A governor valve is used to monitor vehicle speed, and a vacuum or mechanically controlled throttle valve regulates pressure that is applied to the ends of the shift valves to control when the shifts will occur.

5. Additional valves are used to control the shifts needed for other driving conditions. A kickdown valve is used to force a downshift, and shift-modifying valves are used to improve the quality and timing of both the upshifts and downshifts.
