Lockup Clutch (Wk)
The transmission lockup clutch is automatically
engaged. Engine speed is picked up by turbine speed
sensor (8) which sends a signal to energise lockup
solenoid (3, Fig. 3) when turbine speed reaches a
predetermined level. Energising lockup solenoid
(3, Fig. 3) will move lockup valve (4, Fig. 3) across,
allowing oil to flow through the valve to engage
lockup.
Gear Selection
The transmission can be engaged and disengaged
under load by means of hydraulically controlled multi-
disc clutches. All gears run in antifriction bearings
and are constantly meshed. The gears, bearings and
clutches are lubricated with cooled oil.
The transmission is equipped with six multi-disc
clutches. These clutches are controlled via the six
proportional valves (6, Fig. 3). Each proportional
valve (6, Fig. 3) is composed of a pressure regulator
(Y1 to Y6, Fig.3), follow-on slide (5, Fig. 3) and
vibration damper (7, Fig. 3).
The control pressure of 9 bar for the actuation of the
follow-on slides (5, Fig. 3) is created by the pressure
reduction valve (2, Fig. 3). The pressure oil (16+2
bar) is directed via the follow-on slide (5, Fig. 3) to
the respective clutch.
Due to the direct proportional control with separate
pressure modulation for each clutch, the pressures to
the clutches, which are taking place in the gear
change, are controlled. In this way, a hydraulic
