5-speed automatic transmission 01V, 
notes
 
      Self-study program No.. 180 informs extensively 
about the function of this transmission.  
     
Torque converter  
      The torque converter is equipped with a lock-up 
clutch. The lock-up clutch is closed load- and 
speed-dependant with minimum pulsations and 
mechanically drives the 3., 4. and 5. gear 
independent of slip.  
     
Transmission  
      5-speed automatic transmission 01V is equipped 
with 5 hydraulically activated forward gears. By 
passing the torque converter slip, these forward 
gears become mechanically driven gears if the 
lock-up clutch is closed.

Hydraulic control  
      There is a distinction made between two types of 
transmission. Transmissions with hydraulic 
control E17, the sensor for transmission RPM 
(inductive sensor) is secured to bottom of valve 
body. Transmissions with hydraulic control 
E18/2, the sensor for transmission RPM (hall 
effect sensor) is secured to transmission housing 
behind valve body.  
      Information regarding which transmission is 
installed can be found in tables   page 00
