  1. OBJECTIVES After studying Chapter 6, the reader should be able to: • Discuss hydraulic principles. • Describe how a hydraulic system operates. • Identify the parts of a transmission hydraulic system and explain their purpose. • Explain the requirements for a transmission hydraulic system. • Identify the requirements for automatic transmission fluid and the differences between fluids.

  2. INTRODUCTION • The automatic transmission’s hydraulic system has several important functions . • It must be able to: • Apply the clutches and bands and therefore control the transmission power flow, • Transmit sufficient force and motion to completely apply the control units to prevent slippage, • Maintain fluid flow through the torque converter for its proper operation, • Maintain fluid flow to lubricate and cool the moving parts of the gear train.

  4. HYDRAULIC PRINCIPLES • Hydraulics, often called fluid power, is a method of transmitting motion and/or force. • Hydraulics is based on the fact that liquids can flow easily through complicated paths, but they cannot be compressed. • All the components in a hydraulic system are connected so that fluid pressure can be transmitted and allowed to work.

  5. FIGURE 6-2 Fluid pressure is transmitted undiminished in all directions. Note that the pressure is equal throughout the system. HYDRAULIC PRINCIPLES

  6. FIGURE 6-3 Fluids flow freely and will assume the shape of their container (a), yet they are virtually noncompressible (b). HYDRAULIC PRINCIPLES

  7. FIGURE 6-4 A 100-lb force applied on an input piston that has an area of 1 in. will produce a fluid pressure of 100 psi. HYDRAULIC PRINCIPLES • Pressure is defined as the amount of force applied to a given area.

  8. FIGURE 6-5 System pressure can be determined by dividing the input force (50 lb) by the area of the input piston (0.5 in2). Output force can be determined by multiplying the area of the output piston (2 in2) by the fluid pressure (100 psi). HYDRAULIC PRINCIPLES

  9. HYDRAULIC PRINCIPLES • When discussing hydraulic pistons and computing fluid pressures and forces, it is important to use the area of the piston and not the diameter. • The area of a piston or any circle can be determined using this formula: • πr2 or π (0.785d2)

  10. FIGURE 6-6 A simple memory triangle will help you remember the commonly used hydraulic formulas. HYDRAULIC PRINCIPLES

  11. FIGURE 6-7 The basic components of a simple hydraulic system. SIMPLE HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS • Many hydraulic systems use an engine- or motor-driven pump to produce fluid movement. • These systems normally consist of the pump, a fluid intake system usually equipped with a filter, a fluid supply (sump), control valves, and the actuators that provide the system output.

  18. FIGURE 6-13 A typical shift valve has a spring to move the valve to a downshift position; throttle pressure works with this spring. When governor pressure gets high enough, the valve will move to an upshift position. BASIC AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION HYDRAULICS

  19. FIGURE 6-14 Operation of the valve controls fluid flow to the actuator. It can block operation (a), cause apply (b), or cause release (c). BASIC AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION HYDRAULICS

  20. FIGURE 6-15 An internal-external gear pump (a), gerotor pump (b), and vane pump (c). PRODUCING FLUID FLOW AND PRESSURE • Three common types of rotary pumps are used to produce the fluid flow and resulting pressure in an automatic transmission. • They are the internal-external gear with crescent (crescent or gear) pump, the gerotor (rotor) pump, and the vane pump.

  22. FIGURE 6-16 As a pump rotates, a low pressure/vacuum is created as the pumping members move apart in one area, and atmospheric pressure will force fluid into this area. Pressure is created where the pumping members move together. PRODUCING FLUID FLOW AND PRESSURE

  25. PROVIDING CLEAN FLUID • A filter is located at the pump inlet to trap dirt, metal, and any other foreign particles that might cause wear in the pump, bearings, bushings, and gear train or cause sticking of the various valves. • Three types of filters are used: • Surface • Depth • Paper

  26. FIGURE 6-19 Two filters: a surface/screen filter (a) and a depth/felt filter (b and c). PROVIDING CLEAN FLUID

  32. CONTROLLING FLUID FLOW • The fluid flow from the pressure regulator valve to the manual valve and into the control circuit is called mainline, line, or control pressure. • Flow to and from a transmission hydraulic actuator is controlled by one or more valves. • Spool valves sliding in a round bore are used for this purpose. • A spool valve gets its name from its resemblance to a spool used for thread

  36. FIGURE 6-30 The governor valve produces a fluid pressure that is proportional to the speed of the vehicle. (Courtesy of Nissan North America, Inc.) FIGURE 6-31 Ideally, governor pressure increases with speed so the pressure in psi matches the speed in mph. There should be about 40 psi at 40 mph. CONTROLLING FLUID FLOW

  39. FIGURE 6-34 A check valve is opened by fluid flow in one direction (left) and closes when the fluid tries to flow in the other direction. FIGURE 6-35 When fluid flows through this shuttle valve from port B to port C, the check ball moves over to close port A (left). Fluid flow from port A will close port B (right). CONTROLLING FLUID FLOW

  40. FIGURE 6-36 A pressure relief valve (a). When fluid pressure acting on the area of the ball exceeds the spring force, the ball will move off of its seat and allow excess pressure to escape (b). CONTROLLING FLUID FLOW

  41. FIGURE 6-37 This valve spool has four possible hydraulic reaction faces. The areas are calculated like those of any other circular surface using the formula πr2. CONTROLLING FLUID FLOW • Valve Hydraulic Forces • Think of a valve as a hydraulic actuator. • The hydraulic force exerted by a valve is simply the valve land area multiplied by fluid pressure. • The valve area is determined using the formula for the area of a circle, πr2.

  42. CONTROLLING FLUID PRESSURE • Fluid pressure in an automatic transmission is controlled by a variable pressure regulator valve. • Fluid pressure must be high enough to apply a clutch or band tightly enough to prevent slippage. • Excessive fluid pressure will produce heat and fluid foaming as well as more drag on the engine. • Remember that fluid horsepower is a product of pressure and flow.

  43. CONTROLLING FLUID PRESSURE • In most transmissions, the pressure regulator valve is positioned close to the outlet of the pump. • This valve is usually arranged so fluid pressure is at one end and a spring is at the other end. • An additional passage from the pump enters the valve at one valley, and a passage leading back to the pump inlet is located at an adjacent valley

  44. FIGURE 6-38 When fluid pressure at the right end of the regulator valve gets high enough, the valve will move toward the left and allow excess pressure to return to the pump suction passage. (Courtesy of Chrysler Corporation) CONTROLLING FLUID PRESSURE

  45. SEALING FLUID PRESSURE • The fluid passages run throughout the valve body, transmission case, shafts, and tubes of the transmission. • Remember that fluid transmits pressure equally through a passage, regardless of its size or shape. • The many passages in the valve body and the transmission case look like a bunch of worm tracks (a nickname used by transmission rebuilders.

  46. FIGURE 6-39 This valve body uses upper (at bottom) and lower sections (at top) that are separated by the separator plate. Note how the separator plate can restrict a passage so it becomes a port or orifice for flow into the other section. (Courtesy of Chrysler Corporation) SEALING FLUID PRESSURE
