Transmission Hydraulic Systems Chapter 4
Introduction • How the transmission develops hydraulic pressure • How transmission generates, regulates and modifies pressures • Control of up shifts and downshifts • Lubrication and cooling of transmission • How apply devices are applied
Pump Types • Three Types • Gear Pump • Rotor Pump • Vane Pump • Driven by Torque Converter Page 56C
Gear Type Pump • Continually operating whenever engine is running • Two meshing gears • Inner gear powered by torque converter • Fluid is carried between gear teeth • Positive Displacement • Requires pressure regulation Page 56C
Rotor Pump • Inner Drive Rotor • Driven Outer rotors • Operates and delivers fluid whenever the engine is operating Page 57C
Vane Pump • Vanes are operated by centrifugal force • Can be positive displacement or Variable displacement pump • Are self regulating • Variable Displacement • Moving Slide controlled by regulated pressure See Page 58C
Pressure Regulation • Regulator Valve • Variable Regulated Pressure • Electronic Regulation • Uses solenoid to modify system pressure by pulse width modulation Page 61C Building to Max Pressure
Pressure Regulator Valve • Bleeds off pressure when maximum pressure is reached. • Exhausts back to sump • If left unregulated can damage components Page 61C
Transmission Hydraulic Pressures Mainline Pressure Throttle Pressure Governor Pressure Page 59C
Mainline Pressure(“line pressure”) • Regulated Mainline Pressure • Is source for all flow • Controlled by pressure regulator • Applies bands and clutches • Feeds Valve Body valves • Applies pressure to one end of pressure regulator valve Page 60C
BOOST PRESSURE • Boosted Mainline Pressure • Boost Valve to raise pressure at low rpm and high engine load • Other pressures are used to modify regulated pressure Page 61C
Throttle Pressure(“modulated pressure”) • Engine Load Sensing • Mechanical • Vacuum • Electronic • Works against governor pressure • Primary Shift Control signal • Can be Electronic Controlled • Always less or equal to mainline pressure Page 62C
Mechanical Throttle Valve Operation Page 67C
TV Valve PressureHigher Pressure PAGE 68c
Road Speed signal Opposes TV pressure to control shift points Driven by output shaft Higher speeds = Higher pressure Electronic transmission use a PWM solenoid Governor Types Gear Driven Spool Valve Type Check-ball Type Shaft Mounted Valves allow fluid to not bleed off the higher speed you go. Governors stick sometimes and can be cleaned Governor Pressure
Governor Types: Gear Driven, Shaft mounted and Electronic Solenoid Centrifugal Governor Operation Spool Valve operated Page 71c
Torque Converter Pressure • Fluid coupling • Fills torque converter during start up • Regulated by fill valve • Torque Converter Clutch Apply Pressure
Shifting and Shift Operations • Manual Valve • Throttle Valve • Downshift Valves • Governor Valve • Spool Valve design • Check-ball design • Shaft Mounted governors Page 73c
Manual Valve Operation • Positioned manually by gear selector lever • Lever moves valve to one of several detent positions • Directs mainline pressure to correct shift valves and apply devices • Electronic transmission have a MLPS Page 66C
Shift Valve Operation • Shift Valves are: • Flow directing • Switching valves • Spool Type valves • Governor Pressure on one end • Throttle Pressure on other end with spring assist • Blocks or allows fluid flow • Valves must move instantly Page 73C
Shift Valve Operation When speed is high, governor Pressure is higher than throttle Pressure. Allows mainline pressure to pass Through and cause a upshift When Vehicle speed low Throttle pressure and spring Pressure are higher than Governor pressure Page 73c
Hydraulic CircuitLow Gear • 1 – 2 Shift valve controls upshifts and downshifts between • first and second gears • 2 –3 shift valve controls upshifts and downshifts between second and third gears
ACCUMULATORS • Serves as a “shock absorber” for the system • Cushions application of servos and clutches • Allows a gradual application of apply device • Independent Piston –Type Accumulator • Plumbed in parallel with servo • Integral Piston _ Type Accumulator • Built into the servo assembly • Valve Type Accumulator • Contains a small valve to restrict fluid flow Page 111C
ORIFICES FIG. 4-43 Page 75C • Small restriction in a fluid passage • Functions like a pressure regulating valve • Delay pressure build up on one side • Eventually equalizes on other opposite side
Oil Cooler Flow and Pressure • Fluid must be cooled • Transmission must be cooled
