14-28Automatic Transmission
System Description
The automatic transmission is a combination of a three-element torque converter and triple-shaft electronically
controlled unit which provides five speeds forward and one in reverse. The entire unit is positioned in line with the
engine.
The torque converter consists of a pump, turbine, and stator assembly in a single unit. The converter housing (pump)
is connected to the engine crankshaft and turns as the engine turns. Around the outside of the torque converter is a
ring gear which meshes with the starter drive gear when the engine is being started. The entire torque converter
assembly serves as a flywheel while transmitting power to the transmission mainshaft. The transmission has three
parallel shafts; the mainshaft, the countershaft, and the secondary shaft. The mainshaft is in line with the engine
crankshaft, and includes the 4th and 5th clutches, and gears for 5th, 4th, reverse, and idler. The mainshaft reverse gear
is integral with the mainshaft 4th gear. The countershaft includes the gears for 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, reverse, park,
and the final drive. The final drive gear is integral with the countershaft. The countershaft 4th gear and the
countershaft r
everse gear can be locked to the countershaft providing 4th or r everse gear, depending on which way
the selector is moved. The secondary shaft includes the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd clutches, and gears for 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and
idler. The idler gear shaft is located between the mainshaft and the secondary shaft, and the idler gear transmits
power between the mainshaft and the secondary shaft. The gears on the mainshaft and the secondary shaft are in
constant mesh with those on the countershaft. When certain combinations of gears in the transmission are engaged
by the clutches, power is transmitted through the mainshaft, then to the secondary shaft to the countershaft, or
through the mainshaft to the countershaft to provide drive.
The electronic control system consists of the powertrain control module (PCM), sensors, and shift solenoid valves.
Shifting and lock-up are electronically controlled for comfortable driving under all conditions. The PCM is located in
the engine compartment.
The valve bodies include the main valve body, the regulator valve body, and the servo body. They are bolted to the
torque converter housing. The main valve body contains the manual valve, shift valves A, B, C, and E, the relief valve,
the lock-up control valve, the cooler check valve, the servo control valve, and the ATF pump gears. The regulator valve
body contains the regulator valve, the torque converter check valve, the lock-up shift valve, and the 1st and 3rd
accumulators. The servo body contains the servo valve, shift valve D, the accumulators for 2nd, 4th, and 5th, and shift
solenoid valves A, B, C, D, and E. Fluid from the regulator passes through the manual valve to the various control
valves. The 1st, 3rd, and 5th clutches receive fluid from their respective feed pipes, and the 2nd and 4th clutches
receive fluid from the internal hydraulic circuit.
To shift gears, the PCM controls shift solenoid valves A, B, C, D, and E, and A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valves
A, B, and C, while receiving input signals from various sensors and switches located throughout the vehicle. The shift
solenoid valves shift the positions of the shift valves to switch the port leading hydraulic pressure to the clutch. A/T
clutch pressure control solenoid valves A, B, and C regulate their respective pressure, and pressurize the clutches to
engage them and their corresponding gears. The pressure of the A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valves also
applies to the shift valves to switch the port.
The lock-up mechanism operates in D (2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th gears). The pressurized fluid is drained from the back of
the torque converter through a fluid passage, causing the torque converter clutch piston to be held against the torque
converter cover. As this takes place, the mainshaft rotates at the same speed as the engine crankshaft. Together with
the hydraulic control, the PCM optimizes the timing and volume of the lock-up mechanism. When shift solenoid valve
E is turned on by the PCM, shift solenoid valve E pressure switches the lock-up shift valve on and off. A/T clutch
pressure control solenoid valve A and the lock-up control valve control the degree of lock-up.

The electronic control system consists of the powertrain control module (PCM), sensors, and solenoid valves.
Shifting and lock-up are electronically controlled for comfortable driving under all conditions.
The PCM receives input signals from sensors, switches, and other control units, processes data, and outputs signals
for the engine control system and the A/T control system. The A/T control system includes shift control, grade logic
control, clutch pressure control, and lock-up control.
The PCM switches the shift solenoid valves and the A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valves ON and OFF to control
gear selection and torque converter clutch lock-up.

14-57
As the engine turns, the ATF pump starts to operate. Automatic transmission fluid (ATF) is drawn through the ATF
strainer (filter) and discharged into the hydraulic circuit. Then, ATF flowing from the ATF pump becomes line pressure
that is regulated by the regulator valve. Torque converter pressure from the regulator valve enters the torque
converter through the lock-up shift valve, and it is discharged from the torque converter. The torque converter check
valve prevents torque converter pressure from rising.
The PCM switches shift solenoid valves ON and OFF. The shift solenoid valve intercepts line pressure from the ATF
pump via the manual valve when the shift solenoid valve is OFF. When the shift solenoid valve is turned ON by the
PCM, line pressure changes to shift solenoid valve pressure at the shift solenoid valve, then the shift solenoid valve
pressure flows to the shift valve. Applying shift solenoid pressure to the shift valves moves the position of the shift
valve, and switches the port of the hydraulic circuit. The PCM also controls A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valves
A, B, and C. The A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valves regulate hydraulic pressure, and applies pressure to the
clutches to engage smoothly. The clutches receive optimum clutch pressure which is regulated by the A/T clutch
pressure control solenoid valves for comfortable driving and shifting under all conditions.
