Automatic Transmission, Function
Automatic transmission 722.6 is an electronically controlled 5-speed transmission with a lockup clutch in the
torque converter.
The ratios for the gear stages are achieved by three planetary gear sets. The 5th gear is designed with a step-up
ratio as an overdrive.
Shifting is initiated electronically. The gears are shifted by the corresponding combination of three
hydraulically actuated multi-disc clutches and two mechanical freewheels.
Basically automatic transmission 722.6 with electronic control offers the following advantages:
Reduced Fuel Consumption
Improved Shift Comfort
More Favorable Gear Steps As A Result Of 5 Gears
Enhanced Life And Reliability
Reduced Servicing Costs
The electrohydraulic control unit is bolted onto the bottom of the transmission housing. The end of the
transmission is formed by an oil pan made of sheet steel.
The oil pressure for the converter lockup clutch and center multiple-disc clutch is supplied via holes in the input
shaft. The oil pressure to the rear mulitiple-disc clutch is routed through the output shaft. The lubricating oil is
supplied and distributed by additional bore holes in both shafts. All bearing points of the gear sets as well as
freewheels and shift elements are supplied with lubricatin
g oil. NOTE: Transmission Without Touch Shift 722.6 In Model 163.
