1 4 12nd - 4th gear brake I
1 6 1 3rdl4th gear clutch I
1 7 1 1st gear one-way clutch I
1 8 12nd gear one-way clutch I
The transmission is equipped with three clutches
and five brakes. The brakes
are three multi-plate brakes and two
one-way sprag clutches.
The clutches serve to transmit the torque from the
transmission input
shaft to certain components of
the planetary
gearset.
The brakes serve to hold certain components of
the planetary
gearset.
In order to achieve a given transmission ratio, it is
necessary for at least one component of the
planetary
gearset to be held while the torque is
transmitted to another component.
These combinations produce the different
transmission ratios for the individual gears.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
This is influenced by the following variables:
Engine speed,
Engine load,
Transmission input speed,
Vehicle speed.
The following are actuated:
PCM (torque reduction request signal via the
CAN databus).
Pressure control during gearshifts
In order to ensure that the engagement of the
clutches and brakes is as judder-free as possible,
the main line pressure is reduced during gearshifts.
This is influenced by the following variables:
Enginespeed,
Engine load,
Transmission input speed,
Vehicle speed.
The following are actuated:
Main regulating valve.
Shift timing adaptation during upshifts
In order to ensure that the engagement of the
clutches and brakes is as judder-free as possible,
the timing of the gearshift processes is monitored
during upshifts.
In the event of any discrepancy from the target
values, the main line pressure is adapted
accordingly during the next gearshift.
The shift timing adaptation during upshifts is only
active at transmission fluid temperatures between
50
"C and 120 "C.
This is influenced by the following variables:
Engine load,
Accelerator pedal position,
Transmission input speed,
Vehicle speed,
Transmission fluid temperature,
Selector lever position.
The following are actuated:
Main regulating valve.
Shift timing adaptation during shifts from
3rd to 4th gear
The shift from 3rd gear into 4th gear is the only
gearshift during which a clutch is disengaged and
a brake is engaged simultaneously.
In order to control the synchronized switching of
the two components as exactly as possible, the
shifl timing solenoid valve is actuated accordingly.
In order to ensure that this particular gearshift is
performed as judder-free as possible throughout
the service life of the transmission, the gearshift is
monitored by the two rotational speed sensors and
the actuation of the shift timing solenoid valve is
adapted accordingly.
The shift timing adaptation for gearshifts from 3rd
gear into 4th gear is only active at transmission
fluid temperatures between 30
"C and 120 "C.
This is influenced by the following variables:
Engine load,
Accelerator pedal position,
Transmission input speed,
Vehicle speed,
Transmission fluid temperature,
Selector lever position.
The following are actuated:
Shift timing solenoid valve.
Shift timing adaptation during shifts from
4th to 3rd gear
The shift from 4th gear into 3rd gear is the only
gearshift during which a brake is disengaged and
a clutch is engaged simultaneously.
In order to control the engagement of the clutch as
precisely as possible, the main regulating valve is
actuated accordingly in order to build up the
actuating pressure at exactly the right time.
In order to ensure that this particular gearshift is
performed as judder-free as possible throughout
the service life of the transmission, the gearshift is
monitored by the two rotational speed sensors and
the actuation of the main regulating valve is
adapted accordingly.

DESCRIPTION AND
OPEMION
Driver's side door ajar switch
The door ajar switch is located in the door lock on
the driver's side.
When the door is closed a ground connection is
signalled to the transmission control unit.
When the door is opened this ground connection
is interrupted.
The transmission control unit uses the signal from
the driver's side door ajar switch to warn the driver
if the selector lever is not in position
"P" and the
driver's door is open.
In this case the transmission control unit transmits
the warning tone request via the CAN
databus to
the instrument cluster.
The instrument cluster passes this request on to
the GEM, which then generates a warning tone.
Consequences of signal failure:
no warning tone request.
Actuators
Main regulating valve
Item Description
I 1 I Main regulating valve I
The main regulating valve is a proportional valve
which converts the applied electric current into a
proportional hydraulic pressure.
The currentless state corresponds to maximum
pressure.
/
The main regulating valve is used to determine the
main line pressure and therefore the actuating
pressure for the clutches and brakes.
Consequences of signal failure:
hydraulic emergency running mode.
