Automatic Transaxle Overhaul - Endeavor
GENERAL INFORMATION This automatic transaxle is made up of the following main parts.
The gear train is made up of 3 multi-plate clutches, 2 multi-plate brakes and 2
planetary gears made up of a sun gear, carrier, pinion gear and annulus gear.
The torque converter employs a 3 element, 1 step, 2 phase lock-up clutch.
The cases consist of a converter housing, transaxle case, rear cover and a valve
body cover.
Parts related to oil pressure regulation are the oil pump, which pressurizes the oil;
the regulator, which controls the pressure setting; the solenoid valves, which
changes the oil pressure with electrical signals; the pressure control valve, which
controls the oil pressure coming from the solenoid valve that effects each clutch and
brake; each kind of valve, which carry out the retention of the oil pressure through
the lines; and finally the valve body, which houses all the valves. SECTIONAL VIEW < F4A5A >
