INTRODUCTION
The modern automatic transmission is
by far, the most complicated
mechanical component in todays
automobile.
Automatic transmissions contain
Mechanical systems, Hydraulic
systems, Electrical systems and
Computer controls, all working
together in perfect harmony which
goes virtually unnoticed until there is
a problem.

WHAT IS
TRANSMISSION ?

The transmission is a device that is

connected to the back of the engine
and sends the power from the engine to
the drive wheels
Purpose of the transmission is to
provide high torque at the time of
starting the engine, hill climbing ,
accelerating and pulling a road.

TYPES OF AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSION
1. Rear wheel drive

2. Front wheel drive

REAR WHEEL DRIVE

The transmission is usually mounted to the

back of the engine.
Power flow on this system is simple and
straight forward going from the engine,
through the torque converter, then through
the transmission and drive shaft until it
reaches the final drive where it is split and
sent to the two rear wheels.
Example of rear wheel Alpha Romeo Alfeta
in early 70s

FRONT WHEEL DRIVE

On a front wheel drive car, the

combined with the final drive to
transaxle.

transmission is usually
form what is called a

Transaxle is a device set up in the transmission gear box,

clutch, final drive, combined into a single unit.
. Front-wheel-drive layouts are those in which the front
wheels of the vehicle are driven. The most popular layout
used in cars today is the front-engine, front-wheel drive,
with the engine in front of the front axle, driving the front
wheels.
This layout is typically chosen for its compact packaging.
Front axles are connected directly to the transaxle and
provide power to the front wheels.

PLANETARY GEAR SETS

A gear set in which all of the gears
are in one plane, grouped around each
other like the planets around the sun.
The central gear is called the "sun
gear". In mesh with it is a circular
grouping of gears, called "planet
gears", mounted on a rotating carrier.
The planet gears also engage teeth on
the inner periphery of the "ring gear".
By holding any one of the three gear
elements motionless, different ratios
can be produced between the other
two. Planetary gear sets are common in
automatic transmissions.

SIDE VIEW

CLUTCH PACKS

Aclutchis a mechanical
device which provides
for the transmission of
power (and therefore
usually motion) from one
component (the driving
member) to another (the
driven member).
the

simplest
application clutches
are employed in
devices which have two
rotating shafts.

BANDS

A band is a steel strap

with friction material
bonded to the inside
surface.
One end of the band is
anchored against the
transmission case while
the other end is
connected to a servo.

A flexible metal ring fits around the outside of

the clutch housing. It tightens to engage the
gears, and loosens to release them.

TORQUE CONVERTER
Atorque converteris
afluid couplingthat
is used to transfer
rotating power from
aprime mover, such
as aninternal
combustion engineor
electric motor, to a
rotating driven load.

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM

The Hydraulic system is a complex

maze of passages and tubes that
sends transmission fluid under
pressure to all parts of the
transmission and torque converter
It works with some components.
Oil Pump
Valve Body

COMPUTER CONTROLS
The computer uses sensors on the
engine and transmission to detect such
things as throttle position, vehicle
speed, engine speed, engine load, brake
pedal position, etc. to control exact
shift points as well as how soft or firm
the shift should be. Once the
computer receives this information, it
then sends signals to a solenoid pack
inside the transmission

TRANSMISSIONS
Governor
Vacuum Modulator
Throttle Cable
Seals and Gaskets

SPOTTING PROBLEMS
BEFORE THEY GET WORSE
Watch for leaks or stains under
the car.
Check fluid for color and odor.
Be sensitive to new noises,
vibrations and shift behavior.

TRANSMISSION
REPAIRS

Adjustments and In-Car Repairs

Reseal job
Replace accessible parts
Complete Overhaul

Replacement unit vs. overhaul existing unit

Conclusion
Being able to drive a stick-shift means more

Being able to drive a stick-shift means more

than just understanding your gears, however.
That's because to shift gears, you usually
don't just move the shift lever and be done
with it. (You can do this sometimes, but it's
not recommended in day-to-day driving, and
we'll get to it later.) Instead, you have to
press the clutch pedal while you shift. .
Keeping the transmission and its fluid cool,
and in the correct operating-temperature
range is crucial for long life.
