1. One-way clutch test.
The clutch should lock when turned
counterclockwise, and rotate freely and smoothly
clockwise. Less than 2.5 N·cm (22 Ib in) of torque
should be required to rotate the clutch clockwise. If
necessary, clean the converter and retest the clutch.
Replace the converter if the clutch still fails the test.

Figure 1. Construction of Automatic Transmission
The JR405E automatic transmission is electrically controlled by a microcomputer transmission control module
(TCM). There are four forward speeds and one reverse speed.
This JR405E automatic transmission employs a clutch pressure direct control system (Direct Electronic Shift
Control: DESC) using a duty cycle type solenoid, which ensures high shift quality.
This transmission also controls learning and constantly checks the time of each clutch and brake required for
the speed change to match this time with the target value for the optimum speed change.
The TCM will automatically select the most appropriate shift points and lock-up points depending on the
throttle opening angle, the vehicle speed and the vehicle load.
If any trouble arises in the vehicle sensor, throttle sensor, solenoid, etc., the fail-safe control function is
activated to keep the running performance.
Problems with the sensors, the solenoids can be quickly detected with the self diagnosis procedure described
in this manual.
The JR405E automatic transmission consists of the torque converter, the oil pump, the input shaft, the out put
shaft, the planetary gears and the control valve.
The gear train consists of two planetary gear sets and three multiple plate clutches in combination with two
multiple plate brakes and a one-way clutch.

7A1-8 CONSTRUCTION AND FUNCTION
STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION OF COMPONENT
TORQUE CONVERTER (WITH LOCK-UP FUNCTION)
The torque converter is a device for transmitting the engine torque to the transmission. It transmits power
by means of oil when the lock-up is disengaged and by means of a lock-up piston when it is engaged.
The torque converter is of the symmetrical, three-element, single-stage, two-phase type.
As shown in the drawing, the symmetrical three-elements refer to three elements (components) consisting
of impeller (1), turbine (2) and stator (3) that are arranged symmetrically (figure 5).
"Single-stage" means that there is only one turbine as an output element; "two-phase" means that the
pump impeller acts as a torque converter when the turbine speed is comparatively low, and as a fluid
coupling when the speed is high.

Figure 6. Construction of Torque Converter
Lock-up mechanism
"Lock-up" refers to a fixed state of the lock-up piston inside the torque converter and thus connects the
engine directly to the transmission.
The hydraulic pressure for the lock-up control is supplied from two circuits.
When the lock-up is disengaged (Figure 7)
When the lock-up is disengaged, the torque converter operating pressure is supplied from the oil passage
(A) to between the cover and the lock-up piston, and separates the lock-up piston clutch facing and
converter cover.
As a result, the engine drive power is transmitted from the converter cover to the pump impeller, the ATF
and to the turbine. The torque converter function as a fluid connector in this condition.
The torque converter operating pressure is supplied from the oil passage (A), passes through the oil
passage (B).
When the lock-up is engaged (Figure 8)
When the lock-up is engaged, the torque converter operating pressure is supplied from oil passage (B) to
the oil pump impeller, turbine, then to the stator side. The oil between the lock-up piston and converter
cover is drained.
Since the force acting on the right side of the lock-up piston is greater than force on the left side, it
connects the lock-up piston clutch facing with the converter cover, thereby increasing the transmission
efficiency.

7A1-10 CONSTRUCTION AND FUNCTION
INPUT SHAFT
The input shaft has some oil holes, through which lubricating ATF is supplied to the torque converter,
bearings, etc.
The input shaft is fitted the turbine runner in the torque converter, reverse & high clutch drum and rear sun
gear by means of the spline. Therefore, the engine driving force received by the torque converter is
transmitted to the reverse & high clutch drum and rear sun gear.
OUTPUT SHAFT
The output shaft has some oil holes, through which the lubricating ATF is supplied to the bearings,
planetary gear unit, etc.
The output shaft transmits the engine driving force from the planetary gear to the propeller shaft.
The front internal gear is fitted with the rear carrier assembly by spline. The parking gear is also fitted by
spline. By fixing this gear mechanically, the output shaft is fixed as required when parking the vehicle.
GEAR SHIFTING MECHANISM
The JR405E consists of two sets of planetary gears, three multiple plate clutches, two multiple plate
brakes and a one-way clutch. They are activated in different combinations in any of four forward and one
reverse gear positions.
Principle of gear shifting (Figure 12)
Planetary gears have the advantage of a compact configuration because of the way they are constructed
with a single central shaft.
Also, unlike the manual transmission gears that require changing of gear mesh, the gear ratio of the
planetary gears can be changed more easily by locking, releasing or rotating only some of their parts.
A planetary gear is made up of a sun gear (1) at its center and pinion gears (2) each of which rotates
about its own center and also along the sun gear, as shown. They are all called in the internal gear (3).
Also, since the pinion gears are further supported by the planetary carrier (4), they rotate as a unit in the
same direction and at the same rate.
As shown above, each planetary gears are constructed of three elements; a sun gear, pinion gears, and
internal gear and a planetary carrier. Gear shifting is achieved by conditioning two of the three elements
namely the sun gear, internal gear and the planetary carrier.
The planetary gears are locked by the clutch, brake and one-way clutch according to the gear shifting.
