OIL PUMP

The oil pump generating oil pressure is a small-size trochoid gear type oil pump. It feeds oil to the torque
converter, lubricates the power train mechanism, and feeds the oil pressure to the oil pressure control unit
under pressure.

The oil pump is located behind the torque converter. Sine the inner rotor in the oil pump is fitted with the
drive sleeve of the torque converter, it works by the power from the engine.

Figure 9. Construction of Oil Pump Figure 10. Location of Oil Pump

When the inner rotor in the oil pump rotates, ATF is sucked in from the oil pan, passed between the inner
rotor, outer rotor and crescent and discharged. This pressure discharged is sent to the pressure
regulator valve in the control valve and adjusted as required for operating the A/T. The flow rate under
pressure increases or decreases in proportion of the number of rotations.

CONSTRUCTION AND FUNCTION 7A1-11


The JR405E consists of two sets of planetary gears, which are called front planetary gear and rear
planetary gear.

The sun gear of front planetary gear is fixed to the drive plates of 2-4 brake and reverse clutch.

The planetary carrier of front planetary gear is fixed to the drum of low clutch, the drive plates of low &
reverse brake and the hub of high clutch.

The internal gear of front planetary gear and the planetary carrier of rear planetary gear are connected as
one, and they are fixed to output shaft.

The sun gear of rear planetary gear is fixed to input shaft.

The internal gear of rear planetary gear is fixed to the hub of low clutch.

Clutch and Brake

Basic structure of the clutch and brake is shown in the figures below.

In the figure A, the clutch plates (drive plate and driven plate) are in the fluid so that they slip against each
other transmitting no power.

Figure B shows the condition where the oil pressure is acting on the piston. The clutch plates are fitted
to each other under pressure transmitting the rotations of the clutch drum to the clutch hub.

When the oil pressure is removed from the piston, the clutch returns to the condition in the figure A by the
return spring.


Figure 13. Basic Construction of Clutch and Brake

Low Clutch, High Clutch and Reverse Clutch (Multi-Plate Clutch)

The multi-plate clutch is composed of drive plates and driven plates. By applying the oil pressure onto
the end surface of the plates, the clutch is engaged or disengaged. The oil pressure is adjusted with the
control valve according to the signal from the TCM.

All clutches use dish plates to prevent uncontrolled operation of the clutches when engaged, causing a
shock.

For the reverse clutch, a piston check ball is used to release the oil pressure for the purpose of preventing
the clutch drag due to oil pressure generated by residual ATF because of the centrifugal force while the
clutch is racing (under no oil pressure).

For the low clutch and high clutch, a centrifugal balance chamber always full of ATF is provided to offset
the excessive oil pressure, for the purpose of preventing the clutch drag due to oil pressure generated by
residual ATF because of the centrifugal force while the clutch is racing (under no oil pressure).

The solenoid in the control valve is driven based on the speed change signal from TCM and moves the
shift valve, thereby engaging the drive plate and driven plate through the piston of each clutch.

Resultantly, elements of the planetary gear unit are combined.

When the oil pressure is removed, the piston returns to the original position by the force of the return
spring.

2-4 Brake and Low & Reverse Brake (Multi-Plate Brake)

The multi-plate brake is composed of drive plates and driven plates. By applying the oil pressure onto
the end surface of the plates, the clutch is engaged or disengaged. The oil pressure is adjusted with the
control valve according to the signal from the TCM.

All brakes use dish plates to prevent uncontrolled operation of the clutches when engaged, causing a
shock.

The solenoid in the control valve is driven based on the speed change signal from TCM and moves the
shift valve, thereby engaging the drive plate and driven plate through the piston of each clutch.

Resultantly, rotation of each element of the planetary gear unit is fixed.

When the oil pressure is removed, the piston returns to the original position by the force of the return
spring.

Low One-way Clutch

The low one-way clutch employs the sprag which locks the counterclockwise rotation of the front planetary
carrier and rear internal gear.

The one-way clutch outer race is fitted with the low clutch drum and the inner race with the transmission
case.

The outer race rotates freely clockwise but, when it attempts to rotate counterclockwise, the sprag
functions to lock the outer race.

When the vehicle is traveling in 1st gear in the D, 3 or 2range, the low one-way clutch locks the rear
internal gear via the low clutch. It is left free in the 2nd, 3rd or 4th gear position.

7A1-14 CONSTRUCTION AND FUNCTION
CONTROL VALVE

Employing the direct electronic control (Direct Electronic Shift Control: DESC) for the clutch pressure has
simplified the oil pressure circuit, reduced the number of functional components and made the control
valve compact.

The control valve body is divided into the upper body and lower body. All solenoids, oil pressure switch
and ATF thermo sensor are installed to the lower body.

Three-way valve type solenoids providing high responsibility are employed. Some of the solenoids are
switched between ON and OFF and others repeat ON and OFF at 50Hz (duty cycle system).
Functionally, some supply output pressure when power is not supplied and others drain the output
pressure.

When the solenoid is driven based on the signal from the TCM, the oil pressure is changed. The valve is
operated by the difference of the oil pressure.

7A1-16 CONSTRUCTION AND FUNCTION
Control Valve Fail-safe Function

To prevent interlocking due to engagement of more than three clutches and brakes at the same time, the
2-4 brake fail-safe valve A and B, and the low & reverse brake fail-safe valve A and B are provided.

When oil pressure is generated in the high clutch and the low clutch, the 2-4 brake solenoid is turned ON
to drain the oil pressure applied to the 2-4 brake.

When oil pressure is generated in the high clutch or 2-4 brake, the low & reverse brake solenoid is turned
ON to drain the oil pressure applied to the low & reverse brake.



Oil Pressure Switch

The oil pressure switch detects the oil pressure supply condition to the clutch and brake and sends the
detection result to the TCM.

The oil pressure switch is turned ON when the oil pressure reaches the switch working pressure and
turned OFF when the pressure decreases below the specified value.

The high clutch oil pressure switch detects the high clutch oil pressure, 2-4 brake oil pressure switch the
2-4 brake oil pressure, and the low & reverse brake oil pressure switch the low & reverse brake oil
pressure respectively.

CONTROL MECHANISM
CONTENT OF FUNCTION AND CONTROL
Item Description
Line pressure control TCM issues a signal according to the vehicle traveling, engine load and other conditions to
TCM and the ON/OFF type line pressure solenoid is driven to switch the line pressure to
high or low pressure.
The line pressure solenoid is switched to the low pressure side when the solenoid is turned
ON (power supplied) and to the high pressure side when turned OFF (no power supplied).
In the forward travel range (D, 3, 2, L range), the line pressure decreases lower than that in
the P, N, and R range through the oil pressure circuit for the forward travel range.


Gear shift control The TCM issues a shift solenoid drive signal based on the traveling mode switch, inhibitor
switch, vehicle speed, throttle opening and other input signal to control the optimum gear
position automatically.
Speed change features have been set up to the TCM; the normal mode is suited to usual
traveling and the power mode is appropriate when the vehicle is loaded or accelerates the
speed.
In addition, speed change features used only for high oil temperature, hill climbing, and
down have been set up to the TCM, which are automatically switched depending on the
traveling conditions.
When the oil temperature is low (below 10
C), speed change from the third to the fourth
speed is prohibited by the gear shift control.
