The drive is transmitted from the torque converter
(I) on the one hand to the transmission input shaft
(2) and via the 1st-3rd gear clutch (3) to the small
sun gear
(4), and on the other hand from the
transmission input shaft via the
3rdl4th gear clutch
(17) to the planet gear carrier (6).
As the drive is transmitted to two components
simultaneously, there are no relative movements
within the planetary
gearset. The planetary gearset
rotates as a complete unit.
N0TE:The 2nd-4th gear brake (1 3) remains
engaged, but the large sun gear
(I 5) can rotate in
the same direction of rotation as the output from
the engine by means of the 2nd gear one-way
clutch
(14), as a result of which the 2nd-4th gear
brake has no influence on the transmission ratio.
The Annulus (1
0) is fixedly connected to the output
wheel of the planetary
gearset and drives the
intermediate gear stage (1 1
) in the opposite
direction of rotation to the output from the engine.
The intermediate gear stage drives the differential
assembly (12) in the same direction of rotation as
the output from the engine.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Sensors
OSS sensor
TSS sensor
The TSS sensor is an inductive pickup.
It measures the transmission input speed via the
outer plate carrier of the
3rdl4th gear clutch and
sends the signal to the transmission control unit.
The transmission control unit uses this signal for:
Torque reduction during gearshifts,
Pressure control during gearshifts,
Shift timing adaptation during upshifts,
Shift timing adaptation during shifts from 3rd to
4th gear,
Shift timing adaptation during shifts from 4th to
3rd gear,
Avoidance of gearshift judder during
engagement of a transmission range,
Torque reduction when pulling away.
Consequences of signal failure:
No TCC,
no torque reduction,
no shift timing adaptation,
no 4th gear. The
OSS sensor is a Hall sensor.
It is mechanically connected via a gear to the input
wheel of the differential assembly.
It measures the vehicle speed via the input wheel
of the differential assembly and sends the signal
to the transmission control unit.
The transmission control unit uses this signal for:
Gearshift control,
Engagement of the TCC,
Torque reduction during gearshifts,
Pressure control during gearshifts,
Shift timing adaptation during upshifts,
Shift timing adaptation during shifts from 3rd to
4th gear,
Shift timing adaptation during shifts from 4th to
3rd gear,
Reverse gear safety strategy,
Avoidance of gearshift judder during
engagement of a transmission range,
Torque reduction when pulling away,
Hill climb mode,
Hill descent mode.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Differential assembly
Item Description
I 1 1 Bearing I
1 2 1 Crown wheel I
1 3 1 Differential assembly I
4 Sender wheel - Vehicle Speed Sensor
I I (VSS)
The differential assembly is built into the
transmission housing.
The drive torque is transmitted to the differential
by the crown wheel which is bolted to it. The differential
assembly contains differential
pinion gears mounted on a spindle and the axle
halfshaft pinion gears which connect to the front
wheel axle halfshafts through helical gearing.
The axle halfshaft pinion gears can revolve around
the differential pinion gears when the road wheel
speeds are different
(e.g when cornering).
On vehicles without Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
a VSS detects the speed of the differential
assembly at the VSS sender wheel.
On vehicles with ABS the VSS sender wheel is
also installed. The VSS is however not installed in
this case. A plug with an O-ring closes the
corresponding bore instead.
