Figure 1. Construction of Automatic Transmission
The JR405E automatic transmission is electrically controlled by a microcomputer transmission control module
(TCM). There are four forward speeds and one reverse speed.
This JR405E automatic transmission employs a clutch pressure direct control system (Direct Electronic Shift
Control: DESC) using duty cycle type solenoids, which ensure high shift quality.
This transmission also has a learning function and constantly checks the time of each clutch and brake
required for the shift in order to match this time with the target value for the optimum shift.
The TCM will automatically select the most appropriate shift points and lock-up points depending on the
Accelerator pedal opening, the vehicle speed and the vehicle load.
If any trouble arises in the speed sensor, APP sensor, solenoid, etc., the fail-safe control function is activated
to keep the running performance.
Problems with the sensors or the solenoids can quickly be detected with the self diagnosis procedure
described in this manual.
The JR405E automatic transmission consists of the torque converter, oil pump, input shaft, out put shaft,
planetary gears and control valves.
The gear train consists of two planetary gear sets and three multiple plate clutches in combination with two
multiple plate brakes and a one-way clutch.

7A1-8 CONSTRUCTION AND FUNCTION
STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION OF COMPONENT
TORQUE CONVERTER (WITH LOCK-UP FUNCTION)
• The torque converter is a device for transmitting the engine torque to the transmission. It transmits power
by means of oil when the lock-up clutch is disengaged, and by means of a lock-up clutch when it is
engaged.
• The torque converter is of the symmetrical, three-element, single-stage, two-phase type.
• As shown in the drawing, the symmetrical three-elements refer to three elements (components) consisting
of impeller (1), turbine (2) and stator (3) that are arranged symmetrically (figure 5).
• "Single-stage" means that there is only one turbine as an output element; "two-phase" means that the
pump impeller acts as a torque converter when the turbine speed is comparatively low, and as a fluid
coupling when the speed is high.

Figure 6. Construction of Torque Converter
Lock-up mechanism
• "Lock-up" refers to a fixed state of the lock-up clutch inside the torque converter and thus connects the
engine directly to the transmission.
• The hydraulic pressure for the lock-up control is supplied from two circuits.
When the lock-up clutch is disengaged (Figure 7) • When the lock-up is disengaged, the torque converter operating pressure is supplied from the oil pass age
(A) to between the cover and the lock-up piston, and separates the lock-up piston clutch facing and
converter cover.
• As a result, the engine drive power is transmitted from the converter cover to the pump impeller, to the
ATF and to the turbine. The torque converter functions as a fluid connector in this condition.
• The torque converter operating pressure is supplied from oil passage (A), and passes through oil passage
(B).
When the lock-up clutch is engaged (Figure 8) • When the lock-up is engaged, the torque converter operating pressure is supplied from oil passage (B) to
the oil pump impeller, the turbine, and then to the stator side. The oil between the lock-up piston and
converter cover is drained.
• Since the force acting on the right side of the lock-up piston is greater than the force on the left side, it
connects the lock-up piston clutch facing with the converter cover, thereby increasing the transmission
efficiency.

OIL PUMP
• The oil pump generating oil pressure is a small-size trochoid gear type oil pump. It feeds oil to the torque
converter, lubricates the power train mechanism, and feeds the oil pressure to the oil pressure control unit
under pressure.
• The oil pump is located behind the torque converter. Since the inner rotor in the oil pump is fitted with
the drive sleeve of the torque converter, it works using power from the engine.
Figure 9. Construction of Oil Pump Figure 10. Location of Oil Pump
• When the inner rotor in the oil pump rotates, ATF is sucked in from the oil pan, passed between the inner
rotor, outer rotor and crescent, and then discharged. This discharged pressure is sent to the pressure
regulator valve in the control valve, and adjusted as required for operating the A/T. The flow rate under
pressure increases or decreases in proportion to the number of rotations.

7A1-10 CONSTRUCTION AND FUNCTION
INPUT SHAFT
• The input shaft has some oil holes, through which lubricating ATF is supplied to the torque converter, the
bearings, etc.
• The input shaft is fitted to the turbine runner in the torque converter, the reverse & high clutch drum and
the rear sun gear by means of the spline. Therefore, the engine driving force received by the torque
converter is transmitted to the reverse & high clutch drum and rear sun gear.
OUTPUT SHAFT
• The output shaft has some oil holes, through which the lubricating ATF is supplied to the bearings, the
planetary gear unit, etc.
• The output shaft transmits the engine driving force from the planetary gear to the propeller shaft.
• The front internal gear is fitted with the rear carrier assembly by spline. The parking gear is also fitted by
spline. By fixing this gear mechanically, the output shaft is fixed as required when parking the vehicle.
GEAR SHIFTING MECHANISM
• The JR405E consists of two sets of planetary gears, three multiple plate clutches, two multiple plate
brakes and a one-way clutch. They are activated in different combinations in any of four forward and one
reverse gear positions.
Principle of gear shifting (Figure 12) • Planetary gears have the advantage of a compact configuration because of the way they are constructed
with a single central shaft.
• Also, unlike the manual transmission gears that require changing of the gear mesh, the gear ratio of the
planetary gears can be changed more easily by locking, releasing or rotating only some of their parts.
• A planetary gear is made up of a sun gear (1) at its center, and pinion gears (2) each of which rotates
about its own center and around the sun gear, as shown. They are all contained within the internal gear
(3).
• Also, since the pinion gears are further supported by the planetary carrier (4), they rotate as a unit in the
same direction, and at the same rate.
• As shown below, each planetary gear is constructed of three elements; a sun gear, pinion gears, an
internal gear and a planetary carrier. Gear shifting is achieved by conditioning two of the three elements,
namely the sun gear, the internal gear and planetary carrier.
• The planetary gears are locked by the clutch, brake and one-way clutch according to the gear shifting.

CONSTRUCTION AND FUNCTION 7A1-13
2-4 Brake and Low & Reverse Brake (Multi-Plate Brake) • The multi-plate brake is composed of drive plates and driven plates. By applying the oil pressure onto
the end surface of the plates, the clutch is engaged. The oil pressure is adjusted with the control valve
according to the signal from the TCM.
• All brakes use dish plates to prevent uncontrolled operation of the clutches when engaged, causing a
shock.
• The solenoid in the control valve is driven based on the shift signal from TCM, it moves the shift valve,
thereby engaging the drive plate and driven plate through the piston of each clutch.
• As a result, rotation of each element of the planetary gear unit is fixed.
• When the oil pressure is removed, the piston returns to the original position via the force of the return
spring.
Figure 19. Construction of 2-4 Brake
Figure 20. Construction of Low & Reverse Brake
Low One-way Clutch
• The low one-way clutch employs the sprag, which locks the counterclockwise rotation of the front
planetary carrier and the rear internal gear.
• The one-way clutch outer race is fitted with the low clutch drum, and the inner race is fitted with the
transmission case.
• The outer race rotates freely clockwise, but, when it attempts to rotate counterclockwise, the sprag locks
the outer race.
• When the vehicle is traveling in 1st gear in the D, 3 or 2 position, the low one-way clutch locks the rear
internal gear via the low clutch. It is left free in the 2nd, 3rd or 4th gear.
