Automatic Transmission (AJ16)
Both types of automatic transmission comprise a hydrodynamic torque converter driving an epicyclic gear train which
provides four forward ratios and reverse. Gearshift selection is made by a hydraulic (or electronichydraulic) trans- mission control unit. Six gearshift positions are provided:
Position
'P' (Park) -the driven wheels are mechanically locked at the transmission.
Position
'R' (Reverse) - reverse gear selected.
Position
'N' (Neutral) - engine disconnected from drive-line and wheels.
Position 'D' (Drive)
- all four speed ranges are selected automatically with lock-up available in top gear only.
Position
'3' - automatic selection of the lowest three speed ranges only.
Position '2'
- automatic selection of the lowest two speed ranges only; the transmission is prevented from shift- ing up to the third and top speed ranges.
Immediate selection of a lower ratio is also available, within mapped limits, by 'kick
-down' (pressing the accelerator
pedal down beyond the normal full throttle position) for example when overtaking.
A brake pedal/gearshift interlock is incorporated in the shift lever mechanism. Theshift lever may only be movedfrom
the 'P' (Park) position if the ignition key switch is in position 'll', and the foot brake is applied. The ignition key cannot
be removed from the ignition switch unless the shift lever is in the 'P' (Park) position. Once the ignition key has been
removed, the shift lever is locked in the Park position. The gearshift interlock may be over-ridden manually in the event
of an electrical failure or when it is required to move the vehicle manually for access, ie for removal of the propeller
shaft.
8.1.1.1
Gearshift selection causes the appropriate gear to be selected through a cable operated shift lever on the side of the
Gear Selection (ZF 4HP 22)
transmission unit. When a gea; is selected, the shift points are determined by accelerator pedal position through a
throttle cable connection and by pressures equivalent to road speed derived from a centrifugal governor on the output
shaft.
Gearshift speed and quality are controlled by the hydraulic control unit located in the lower part of the transmission
housing. The control unit contains selector valve, control pistons and pressure valves.
The hydraulic control unit can be overridden by 'kickdown'. This is actuated by the final travel of the accelerator pedal
and causes the next lower gear to be selected.
8.1.1.2
Gearshift selection causes the appropriate gear to be selected through a cable operated shift lever on the side of the
transmission unit; the shift lever also operates a rotary switch attached to the side of the transmission unit. When a
gear is selected, the rotary switch provides an output or combination of outputs to the TCM, which continuously moni
- tors the gear selected in addition to output shaft speed and transmission oil temperature. Information from the Engine
Control Module (ECM) representing engine speed, load and throttle position is also fed to the TCM to enable the most
suitable gear to be selected.
Gear selection and gearshift speeds are controlled by the manually operated selector valve, a solenoid operated pres
- sure regulator and three solenoid valves. On receipt of signalsfrom the TCM, the three solenoid valves MVI, MV2 and
MV3, in various combinations with the safety valve, determine the appropriate gear range. The TCM, on receipt of
information of engine state and road speed, determines the shift speed.
The Performance Mode switch, located on the shift lever surround, provides two alternative shift speed patterns:
1. 'Normal (Economy) Mode' - designed for everyday use.
2. 'Sport Mode'
- gear shift takes place at higher road speeds to enhance performance.
The 'kick
-down' switch, located beneath the accelerator pedal, is actuated by the final travel of the pedal and signals
to the TCM that the next lower gear is to be selected.
