ZF 4 HP 24 E TRANSMISSION, GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ZF Transmission covered in this section comprises a hydrodynamic torque converter, four speed gear train and

Fig. 1 ZF 4 HP 24 E Transmission
The automatic transmission provides six gearshift positions:
0 Position 'P': Park - in this position the driven wheels are mechanically locked at the transmission.
0 Position 'R': Reverse - reverse gear selected.
0 Position 'N': Neutral -engine disconnected from drive-line and wheels.
0 Position 'D': Drive - all four speed ranges are selected automatically with lock-up available in top gear only.
0 Position '3': automatic selection of the lowest three speed ranges only.
0 Position '2': automatic selection of the lowest two speed ranges only, transmission is prevented from shifting
up to the third and top speed ranges.
Immediate selection of a lower ratio is also available by 'kick
-down' (pressing the accelerator down beyond the normal
full throttle position) for example when overtaking.
2.1.1 Torque Converter
The torque converter serves two main functions: it acts as a fluid coupling between engine and transmission geartrain
and it provides multiplication of engine torque when required.
The torque converter consists of an impeller, a turbine and a stator which is mounted on a one
-way clutch. The
converter cover is fixed to the impeller to seal the three elements within a common housing forming a closed circuit
through which oil flows when the transmission is in operation. The impeller is therefore connected to the engine and
rotates at engine speed when the engine is operating.
Torque multiplication is
at its greatest when the vehicle is driven away from standstill. The stator bears against the
housing through its one-way clutch and deflects the oil so that the flow is accelerated. As road speed builds up, the
impeller and turbine wheels turn at almost the same speed, so that the stator ceases to accelerate the oil flow and in- stead is disengaged from the housing and turns freely in the flow of oil. At this stage, the torque converter acts as a
fluid coupling.
Issue 1 August 1994 39

ZF Automatic Transmissions Service Manual
The torque converter acts in all four forward gears and in reverse. The converter lock-up clutch closes in 4th gear at
a point depending on road speed and accelerator position; engine power is then transmitted
by purely mechanical
means.
A low
-loss oil pump in the front of the transmission housing supplies the converter, the automatic gear shift and the
lubrication circuit; oil is drawn from a sump in the bottom of the gear train housing through a filter. The pump drive
gear is keyed to the converter impeller hub and therefore turns when the engine is running, thereby pressurizing the
oil.
2.1.2 Four-speed Epicyclic Gear Train
The torque converter drives a mechanical epicyclic gear train providing four forward ratios and reverse. Individual ra-
tios are obtained by coupling together the various parts of the gear train by means of solenoid-operated, hydraulically
actuated multi-disc clutches and brakes; built in freewheels permit gear shifts without any interruption of the power
flow.
For information on the operation of the solenoids, clutches, brakes and freewheels, refer to the table below and the
schematic diagrams shown overleaf.
A parking lock pawl is provided at the rear of the gear train, operating on a toothed wheel attached to the output shaft;
the parking lock is operated from the selector (position
'P) by actuator rod.
An electro
-magnetic sensor detects output shaft revolutions by means of a toothed disc attached to the shaft; one rev- olution of the shaft is equal to 36 pulses. The electrical signal from the sensor is passed, via a screened cable, to the
TCM.

2.1.4 Transmission Control Unit
The electronichydrauliccontrol unit comprising a series of valve blocks housing a cable-operated manual valve, con- trol pistons and pressure valves is attached to the underside of the transmission housing; the unit controls the oper- ation of the gear train clutches and directs oil pressure to the appropriate system components (refer to illustrations,
pages 43 to 46) to operate the transmission.
The four valve blocks in which the control valves, pistons etc are located, are mounted and connected through a main
gallery plate. The three solenoid valves
MVI, MV2 and MV3 and the pressure regulator operating solenoid are located
on the upper surface of the plate; electrical connections between the solenoids and the transmission and transmission
control unit are via cable harnesses (refer to relevant diagrams and tables for details of the various pin connections).
Operation of the transmission control unit is through an electronic Transmission Control Module
(TCM) which on re-
ceipt of electrical signalsfrom transmission and engine management sources, activates the hydraulic pressure regulat- ing and shift valves via solenoid valves located on the valve block. The gearshift selector transmits movement, via the
selector cable, to the selector lever on the side of the gearbox; this rotates the selector shaft which controls the manual
selector valve. The rotary position of the shaft is monitored by the rotary switch.

2.3 FAULT DIAGNOSIS
The following tables are intended as a guide to diagnosis of possible faults in the ZF 4 HP 24 E transmission. When
the fault involves a leak,
it is recommended that it is located by the use of a crack detection fluid, eg. Met-L-Check,
which is available in spray form and permits the leak to be located after a short test drive.
2.3.1 Initial Checks
&@: Before attempting fault diagnosis, ensure that the following settings are checked:
Transmission oil level
. Ensure that the transmission is at normal operating temperature, e.g. by conducting a 20 mile road test. If starting
. Check that the vehicle is on level ground.
. Firmly apply the parking and footbrakes and run the engine at idle speed.
. To ensure that the system is primed, slowly move the selector lever through all the gear positions.
. With the engine still running, engage 'P' Park, withdraw the dipstick and wipe with a lint free cloth.
. Replace the dipstick slowly and withdraw it noting the level.
. Top up as required and recheck the level.
from
cold: check for presence of
oil on dipstick at idle in 'P' Park before setting off.
Note: The oil level can only be accuratelychecked when at normal temperature-approximately 20 miles at moderate
speeds.
2.3.2 Engine Tune
Selector cable adjustment
. Check gear selection in all selector positions.
. If in doubt, select 'N', disconnect the cable at the gearbox selector lever, checkthat the gearbox lever is in 'N' position
. Adjust as necessary at the selector lever inside the vehicle.
(third detent from the rear) and refit the selector cable ball pin to the lever.
2.3.3 Stall Test
. Ensure the transmission is at normal running temperature.
. Fully apply the parking brake.
. Start the engine.
= Fully depress the footbrake.
. Select position 'D'- Drive.
. Fully depress the accelerator('kick-down' switch fully depressed).
. Note the tachometer reading.
. Compare the tachometer reading to the specification.
CAUTION: This test must not last more than 5 seconds. Always allow the engine to idle for at least 2 minutes between
tests to allow the transmission fluid to cool down. Do not carry out more than three tests in any half-hour.
Jaguar Diagnostic Equipment
(JDE) must be interrogated and any faults identified and rectified (see JDS Manual / In- structions). Check mode switch and gear selector positions using JDE.
