This speed is maintained to ensure stabilized idle speed.

the position of the shift lever is anywhere other than the

proportion to the load of the torque-converter.
(3) Idle control servo position during operation of the power

When the power steering oil pressure switch is turned on
because the steering wheel is being turned while
thevehicle is stationary, the servo position is changed to
correspond to the increased power steering pump load.
(4) Servo position while the air conditioner is being operated
When the air conditioner switch is turned on, the servo
position is changed to correspond to the increased air
conditioner load.
(5) High altitude compensation
A correction is performed by increasing the opening of the
idle speed control servo to allow increasing bypass air flow
in order to compensate for the loss of intake air volume
(asmeasured by weight) caused by a reduction in intake air
density due to a drop in barometric pressure at increased
altitude.
(6) “Training” function
A “training” function that enters a value based upon the
engine rpm and the target rpm into the memon/,
andcorrects the servo position according to this value, is
provided in order to obtain an even higher degree of
precision of position control.

L6bro joint absorbs longitudinal displacement
and angle change and prevents the transmission of
vibration. It has the following features.
0Its constant velocity performance is excellent,
due to the inclination of the ball grooves of the
inner and outer races at same degree in
oppo-site directions.l It has a smaller sliding resistance in the axial
direction than a spline type slip joint.
l
It has smaller rotational variations, and hence is
more suitable for high speed operation than
other constant velocity joints due to smaller ball

OIL PUMPRlUAM
The oil pump has a separate oil reservoir; it is a vane-type pumpthat generates hydraulic pressure by the rotor, vanes and cam
y”ht oil pump incorporates a flow-control valve (in order to
reduce the power-assist effect during high-speed driving and
thereby improve steering stability) and a relief valve (in order to
maintain the hydraulic pressure and steering linkage rela-
tionship).
NOTEThe relief valve is incorporated within the flow-control valve.
OPERATION OF THE OIL PUMP
The rotation of the rotor causes the ten vanes to move radially
by centrifugal force, and when there is rotation along the cam
curved surface of the circular cam ring, there is action in the
radial direction along the cam curved surface.
The fluid chamber is formed by the cam ring, rotor and vanes;
when the rotor rotates the inner surface of the cam ring
(circular), the fluid chamber pressure changes to negative
pressure, with the result that the fluid within the oil reservoir,
which is at atmospheric pressure, is drawn in (suction step),
after which the rotor rotates further, discharging the fluid
(discharge step).
The action of this pump is two intake strokes and
two
discharge strokes for each vane during one rotation of the rotor.

MANUAL TRANSAXLE <4WD> - Viscous Coupling .(VClJ)21-13In contrast, the inner plates have no such spacer rings, and
each can slide to some extent over the hub spline shaft
between the outer plates.
The space between the housing and outer and inner plates is
filled with mixture of silicone oil and air.

Moving atvelocity V*
OPERATION OF THE VISCOUS COUPLINGPrinciples of operation
The viscous coupling is a kind of fluid clutch that uses viscous
resistance (shear stress) of the fluid to transmit power or limit
differential action.
For this purpose, the viscous coupling uses silicone oil whose
viscosity is less variable with temperature changes.
The principles of operation are described below, using an
enlarged model consisting of two parallel plates with fluid filling
the space between them.
Assume that fluid fills the space between plates A and
B.When plate A moves at velocity V, the fluid that is in contact
with plate A also moves at velocity V. The velocity of the fluid
decreases gradually in area closer to plate B; the area that is in
contact with plate
B is stationary. Thus there occurs a velocity
gradient in the fluid. As the fluid is viscous, the faster moving
fluid molecules develop a force (shear stress) to pull or
separate the more slowly moving molecules if there occurs
velocity gradient.
This force acts as resistance to the plate that is moving at
velocity
V (plate A) and as force to the stationary plate to move
it in the same direction as plate A.
In other words, shear stress works to reduce velocity differ-
ence of the two plates.
1 Torque characteristics
Rotating speed differenceWhen differential action occurs in the center differential, a
rotating speed difference occurs between the inner and outer
plates of the viscous coupling, and the oil between plates is
sheared, developing viscous resistance (differential limiting
torque).This viscous resistance changes with the rotational speed
difference as shown at the left. Namely, the differential limiting
torque increases with rotating speed difference.

‘4) Once the operation is step (2) is completed, the
hydraulic control device functions by hydraulic
pressure force to change the state of the
clutches and brakes to accomplish the gear
shifting. To minimize the shock that would
otherwise be produced during gear shifting,
hydraulic pressure is controlled during the gear
shifting period by the “duty control” of the
pressure control solenoid valve. The duty control
is explained later.
‘HYDRAULIC PRESSURE CONTROL DURING
SHFIING(1) The hydraulic pressure that functions during
gear shifting to engage the clutches and apply
the brakes is regulated by the pressure control
valve, The hydraulic pressure that works on the
pressure control valve is further regulated by the
pressure control solenoid valve which functions
under the control of the transaxle control unit.
The transaxle control unit controls the solenoid
valve through the duty control, thus providing
appropriate regulation of the hydraulic pressure.
(2)
(3)
(4)The transaxle control unit decides the timing of
the gear shifting period (during which ‘it per-
forms hydraulic pressure control for gear shift-
ing) according to the change in the kickdown
drum rotating speed that it detects. The unit
identifies the time just before the kickdown
brake is applied and uses that as the timing for
initiating control of the hydraulic pressure which
is to be applied to the kickdown brake.
When the transaxle is cold, the fluid viscosity is
high, causing slower oil pressure response. in
such conditions, the transaxle control unit pro-
vides a correction for the oil pressure by
changing the control duty of the pressure control
solenoid valve.
This control is performed when the fluid temper-
atures as indicated by the oil temperature
sensor is lower than
60°C (140°F).After the engine has been started and the
vehicle is inmotion, the transaxle

PulsePULSE GENERATORS
The pulse generators are installed on the top of the transaxle.
The pulse generator “A” generates pulses by holes provided
on the outer circumference of the kickdown drum. The pulse
generator
“B” generates pulses by the transfer driven gear
according to the number of gear teeth. The pulses are picked
up by the coil and fed to the transaxle control unit.
Using these pulses, the transaxle control unit determines thekickdown drum and transfer driven gear rotating speeds, on the
basis of which the control unit makes the shift pattern control
and the hydraulic pressure control during gear shifting.
