1. OVERVIEW
The six speed automatic (M78) transmission
is available in two variants: four wheel drive
and two wheel drive.
The transmission has the following features:
Six Forward Speeds
One reverse gear
A torque converter with an integral converter lock-up clutch
Electronic shift and pressure controls
A single planetary gear-set
A double planetary gear-set
Two hydraulically controlled brake bands
Three multi-plate clutches
All hydraulic functions are directed by electronic solenoids to control: -
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
Engagement feel
Shift feel
Shift scheduling
Modulated torque converter clutch applications ·
·
·
·
The transmission contains fully synthetic automatic transmission fluid (ATF) and is filled for life;
therefore it does not require periodic servicing.
Engine power reaches the transmission via a torque converter with integral converter lock-up
clutch.
The six forward gears and one reverse gear are obtained from a single planetary set, followed by
a double planetary set. This type of gear-set arrangement is commonly known as Lepelletier type
gear-set.
The automatic transmission is electronically controlled. The control system is comprised of the
following elements:
External transmission control unit (TCU)
Internal embedded memory module (EMM)
Input and output speed sensors
Valve body unit comprised of four on/off solenoid valves and six variable bleed solenoids

2. FEATURES
Early Downshifts with Hard Braking and Skip Shifts ▶
When heavy braking is detected, the transmission downshifts early and skips gears to provide
increased engine braking to provide gear selection for tip-in.
Gear Hold on Uphill/Downhill ▶
If the accelerator pedal is released when travelling uphill, upshifts are prevented to reduce
busyness on grades. If the accelerator pedal is released when travelling downhill, upshifts are
prevented to enhance engine braking.
Soft Engagement when Shifting to “D” and “R” Position ▶
A soft engagement feature avoids harsh take up of drive when selecting Drive or Reverse. This is
achieved by limiting engine speed and engine torque which results in a rapid, but progressive
engagement of either Drive or Reverse when moving from the Park or Neutral positions. There is
no drive engagement prevention strategy implemented on the transmission system as there is
sufficient engine strategy to protect the system. However, reverse gear engagement is prevented
until engine speed is less than 1400 rpm and the accelerator pedal position is less than 12% and
vehicle speed is less than 10 km/h.
Converter Clutch Lock-Up In All Gears ▶
The transmission features converter clutch lock-up in all gears. This feature provides improved
fuel economy and vehicle performance. It also improves transmission cooling efficiency when
towing heavy loads at low speeds, e.g. in city driving or hill terrain.
Embeded Memory Module (EMM) ▶
The embedded memory module (EMM) is
matched to the transmission's valve bodies
during transmission assembly to ensure
refined shift quality. The EMM is integrated
into the input speed sensor which is mounted
on the valve body in the transmission. The
EMM is used to store data such as valve body
calibration data and valve body serial number.
Upon installation, the TCU will download the
data from the EMM and utilise this data in the
operation of the transmission.

2) Cooling System
The transmission cooling system ensures rapid warm-up and constant operating temperature
resulting in reduced fuel consumption and refined shift quality.
It also includes a cooler by-pass within the hydraulic system to allow sufficient cooling and
lubrication to the transmission drivetrain in the event of a blockage in the transmission cooler.
Gear Shift ▶
Coastdown ▶
Torque Demand ▶ Transmission gear change is controlled by the TCU. The TCU receives inputs from various engine
and vehicle sensors to select shift schedules and to control the shift feel and torque converter
clutch (TCC) operation at each gear change
Coastdown downshifts occur at 0% accelerator pedal when the vehicle is coasting down to a
stop. To reduce the shift shock and to improve the shift feeling during downshift, TCU
electronically controls the transmission.
Torque demand downshifts occur (automatically) when the driver demand for torque is greater
than the engine can provide at that gear ratio. If applied, the transmission will disengage the TCC
to provide added acceleration.

5. ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM
1) Overview
The transmission control unit (TCU) and its input/output networks control the operations of
transmission:
Shift timing
Line pressure
Clutch pressure (shift feel)
Torque converter clutch -
-
-
-
In addition, the TCU receives input signals from certain transmission-related sensors and
switches. The TCU also uses these signals when determining transmission operating strategy.
Using all of these input signals, the TCU can determine when the time and conditions are right for
a shift, or when to apply or release the torque converter clutch. It will also determine the pressure
needed to optimise shift feel. To accomplish this, the TCU operates six variable bleed control
solenoids and four ON/OFF solenoids to control the operations of transmission.
2) Transmission Control Unit (TCU)
The transmission control unit (TCU) is mounted under the driver's seat and controls the operation
of the transmission.
TCU processes the analog information from the internal sensors and the digital information
through CAN communication lines. TCU monitors all the input and output signals. If there is any
