INTRODUCTION
The BTR Automotive Model 74 Four Speed Automatic Transmission is an electronically controlled overdrive four
speed unit with a lock-up torque converter. The lock-up torque converter results in lower engine speeds at cruise and
eliminates unnecessary slippage. These features benefit the customer through improved fuel economy and noise
reduction. Refer to table 1.1 for details of power, torque and configuration.
Of primary significance is the transmission control unit (TCU) which is a microprocessor based control system. The
TCU utilizes throttle position, rate of throttle opening, engine speed, transmission output speed, transmission sump
temperature, gear selector position and mode selector inputs, and in some applications a ‘kickdown’ switch to control
all shift feel and shift schedule aspects.
The TCU drives a single proportional solenoid multiplexed to three regulator valves to control all shift feel aspects.
The output pressure of this solenoid is controlled as a function of transmission sump temperature to maintain consistent
shift feel throughout the operating range.
Shift scheduling is highly flexible, and several independent schedules are programmed depending on the vehicle.
Typically the ‘NORMAL’ schedule is used to maximise fuel economy and driveability, and a ‘POWER’ schedule is used
to maximise performance. ‘WINTER’ schedule is used to facilitate starting at second gear.
Figure 1.1 details the differences between conventional and electronic transmission control systems.
