2005 MITSUBISHI 380 automatic transmission

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION23A-4
TRANSMISSION
The transmission is made up of the torque converter and gear train. A 3-element, 1-stage, 2-phase torque
converter with built-in torque converter clutch is used. The gear train is made up of four sets of multi-disc
clutches, two sets of multi-plate brakes, one band type brake, two set of one-way clutches and three sets of
planetary gears. The planetary gears are made up of sun gears, carriers, pinion gears and annulus gears.

COMPONENTS AND FUNCTIONS
COMPONENT FUNCTION
Underdrive clutch UD connects the input shaft to the underdrive sun gear.
Reverse clutch REV connects the input shaft to the reverse sun gear.
Overdrive clutch OD connects the input shaft to the overdrive planetary carrier.
Direct clutch DIR connects the direct sun gear and direct planetary carrier.
Low-reverse brake LR holds the low-reverse annulus gear and the overdrive planetary
carrier.
Second brake 2ND holds the reverse sun gear.
Reduction brake RED locks the direct sun gear.
One-way clutch(DIR) OWC-D restricts the rotation direction of the direct sun gear.
One-way clutch(LR) OWC-LR restricts the rotation direction of the low-reverse annulus gear.

ELECTRONICALLY-CONTROLLED SYSTEM
.
INVECS-II
When in drive ("D" range), the new automatic transmission
employs an innovative shift schedule to provide a high level
of comfort and "easy driving style" that matches all driving
conditions as well as the driver's driving style.
INVECS-II features "Optimum Shift Control," which provides
shift timing the average driver perceives to be the optimum
timing under any road conditions. "Adaptive Shift Control"
adjusts shift timing to match the driving habits and prefer-
ences of individual drivers.
.
INVECS-II Sports Mode Automatic Transmission
A further development of the INVECS-II automatic transmis-
sion, incorporating a sports mode that enables quasi-manual
gear shifts. When the gear shift lever is pushed sideways fronm
the "D" position to the sports mode position, the driver can use
it to make gear selections manually. The sports mode has the
following features.
In contrast to the automatic "D" range, the sports mode
does not perform automatic upshifts. Thus, the engine can
be driven fully into its red zone.
For more rapid gear shifting, it is possible to shift directly
from 4th gear to 2nd gear, therby skipping a gear.
When the vehicle decelerates and stops, the system auto-
maticaly shifts down to 1st gear for conveinience when the
vehicle starts moving again. Further, 2nd gear can be
selected with the vehicle stationary, so standing starts can
be made in 2nd gear on slippery surfaces.

FEATURES
OPTIMUM SHIFT CONTROL
1. The shift patterns found satisfying by the typical driver for all
ranges of driving are stored in the computer's memory. The
computer uses this data to analyze road conditions and the
driver's style of operation, and then outputs the optimal shift
patterns stored in its memory to best match the conditions.
2. We introduce the latest control technologies with an innova-
tive new algorithm called the "neural network" that works to
imitate the decision-making processes of the human brain.
The neural network links a wide variety of input data regard-
ing road and operating conditions, and instantly makes
accurate shift control decisions.
.
ADAPTIVE SHIFT CONTROL
1. The computer learns the driving habits and pref-
erences of each individual driver by processing
driving data on engine output, tyre load, foot
brake operation, etc. It then uses this data to
adjust shift timing to best suit the driver's style.2. If the computer determines from the driving pat-
terns that the driver is one who enjoys a relaxed,
unhurried style, it adjusts timing to execute
up-shifts at a lower engine speed to provide a
smooth, quiet ride. On the other hand, if the com-
puter determines the driver to prefer a sporty ride,
it adjusts timing to shift up at a higher engine
speed to provide more powerful response.
