Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The cast aluminum pistons use two compression rings and one oil control
ring. The pistons are tin plated to provide a non-scuffing surface when
the engine is new.
A steel camshaft is supported by five steel backed babbit bearings. It is
driven by the crankshaft through a chain at the front of the engine. The
drive gear is keyed to the crankshaft and the driven sprocket is bolted to
the camshaft. Both the crankshaft gear and camshaft sprocket have
locating marks to provide the correct valve timing and timing chain
installation. The valve lifters are roller hydraulic type and are positioned
in the aluminum lifter carrier.
4T80-E Transaxle (ETC) & 4.6 L Sport Coupe (270 hp)
The 4T80-E transaxle has been designed to complement the output
characteristics
of the Northstar engine. The innovative design
incorporates several features which enhance its overall operation.
339
Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine This transaxle is the first of a new generation of “SMART” transmissions.
The computer which controls the electronic shift solenoids adapts to
changing environments while you drive. This provides consistent high
quality shifts under all conditions. Communication between the engine
and transaxle through this computer controls engine output durin\
g
activation
of torque management or traction control. Smooth shifting is
ensured by design. Hydraulic accumulators control shift pressures and all
shifts are made to free wheeling elements.
The 4T80E uses a dry sump lubrication system with a scavenger pump.
This unique feature enables the transaxle to maintain adequate
pressurized oil supply during
all maneuvers.
Spirited performance with
very efficient cruising operation are provided
by the combination
of 4 speed overdrive gearing, a torque converter
clutch, and a
3.71:l or 3.11:l final drive ratio.
