Oil Level Control, Function
Operation - The oil level control system seals the opening between the oil gallery and gearset chamber so that
the rotating gearsets do not splash about in oil as the oil level rises. The oil level control reduces power loss and
prevents oil from being thrown out of the transmission housing at high oil temperatures.

Operation
The driver's wish for maximum acceleration of the vehicle is met with the kick-down function. See Fig. 160.
When the kick-down switch (S16/6) is operated a CAN Signal is passed on from the electronic selector lever
module control module (N15/5) to the ETC control module (N15/3) via the electronic accelerator.
Based on this information the ETC control module (N15/3) actuates the solenoid valves so that the upshifts and
downshifts take place at higher engine speeds in order to achieve maximum performance.

See KICK
-DOWN SWITCH, LOCATION/TASK/DESIGN.
Hydropneumatic Transmission Control, Function (Without Touch Shift)
Operation
The hydropneumatic transmission control is divided into electronic and hydraulic transmission control.
While the electronic transmission control is responsible for gear selection and for matching the pressures to the
torque to be transmitted, the transmission's power supply control occurs via hydraulic elements in the
electrohydraulic control module. The oil supply to the hydraulic elements, such as the hydrodynamic torque
converter, the shift elements and the hydraulic transmission control, is provided by way of an oil pump
connected with the torque converter.
The electronic transmission control (ETC) allows for the precise adaptation of pressures to the corresponding
operating conditions and to the engine output during the gearshift phase, resulting in a noticeable improvement
in shift quality.
It is possible to reach the engine RPM limit in the individual gears using full throttle and kick-down. The shift
range can be changed in the forward gears while driving, but the electronic transmission control (ETC) employs
a downshift safeguard to prevent over-revving the engine.
The system offers the additional advantage of flexible adaptation to different vehicle and engine variants.

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 multiple-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 lubricating oil.
The parking lock gear and drive flange are connected to the output shaft by gearing.
Freewheels F1 and F2 optimize shifting. The front freewheel (F1) rests against the stator shaft extension on the
transmission side and connects the sun gear of the front planetary gear set to the transmission housing in the
locking direction.
The torque converter housing and transmission housing are made of a metal alloy. They are bolted together and
centered via the outer multiple-disc carrier of the multiple-disc brake B1. A coated intermediate panel seals the
two components.
The oil pump and outer multiple-disc carrier of the front multiple-disc brake are bolted to the converter housing.
The mechanical part consists of the propeller shaft, output shaft, a sun gear shaft and three planetary gearsets
which are coupled together.
In transmissions for powerful engines, the planetary gearsets have 4 planetary gears, while for less powerful
engines the front and rear planetary gear system has three planetary gear wheels. The stator shaft is pressed into
this and is secured against turning by a spline.
The rear freewheel F2 connects the sun gear of the center planetary gear set to the sun gear of the rear planetary
gearset in the locking direction.
The electrohydraulic control unit consists of the shift plate made of light alloy for hydraulic control and an
electronic control unit.
The electrical control unit consists of a supporting body made of plastic in which the electrical components are
combined. The shell is screwed to the shift plate. Conductor tracks which are integrated into the shell, connect
the electric components to a plug connector. This 13-pin plug connector forms the connection with the vehicle-
side wiring harness and with the ETC 5 (electronic transmission control) control module (N15/5) via a bayonet
lock.
