slip during the torque transmission. The slip
between the pump and the turbine is locked up
by activating the converter clutch and thus, the
efficiency is improved.

Planetary gear - Basic principle
Ravigneaux-planetary wheel set
Simpson-Planetary wheel set
Lepelletier-planetary wheel set
The system is based on a simple planetary wheel set and a downstream
double planetary wheel set as per Ravigneaux. The basic principle is to
operate the sun wheels and the planet carriers of the double planetary
wheel set with different speeds.
The long planetary wheels are engaged in the Ravigneaux-set with the
big sun wheel and the planetary wheels of the small sun wheel
simultaneously. Special feature of this set is the common planet carrier
due to which a compact design is possible.

In case of Simpson-set, the planet wheel carrier of one of the set is
connected to the hollow wheel of the other.

Switching elements – multi-disk clutch
1.What is the function of the multi-disk clutches?
The multi-disk clutches connect different
elements of single wheel sets to each other and
thus, enable a torque transmission as also speed
conversion.
2.How are they controlled?
The clutches are closed hydraulically. For this, a
piston is impacted with oil pressure such that it
presses the laminated disk packs together.

Maintenance / diagnosis - General information
Towing:
The selector lever should be set in position "N". The towing speed should not exceed 50km/h and a distance of
50 km. Vehicles with all-wheel drive may not be towed with raised front- or rear axle.
The oil pump is not operated while towing due to which the lubrication of the rotating components fails.
Transmission oil (ATF):
No ATF-change is provided within the maintenance intervals (Lifetime filling). Always read the technical
documents while re-filling.
Final test:
Delete error memory and carry out the test drive. Prerequisites:
- The transmission oil level of the automatic transmission is OK.
- The transmission oil level of the torque converter is OK.
The final test has to be carried out mandatorily after repairing the transmission control. It consists of following
tests:
- Test drive:
- Leakage test: After completing all the necessary operations on the transmission control and its components,
leakage tests
must be carried out.
- Diagnosis tester (self-diagnosis): After a test drive, read the error memory again.

Maintenance / diagnosis – Adjustment
The Adjustments function can be understood as learning of different components and functions about the
automatic transmission control unit. Following adjustments can be carried out:
Reset adaptation values.
Note(s):
- The function 'Reset adaptation values' enables the deletion of internal adaptation parameters of the automatic
transmission control unit.
-After exchanging or renewing one or many components, it is recommended to execute the function 'Reset
adaptation values'.
When should the adjustment be made?
– after changing the transmission
– after replacing the transmission control unit
– after changing the ATF
– after repairing the transmission (e.g. changing the
slide-valve gear-box, repairing the clutches)
– after replacing the position of the acceleration
pedal-sensor
– in case of complaints regarding the switching
comfort
– possible engine exchange or replacing the ECU
It is recommended to carry out an adaptation drive after the adjustment!

Pre-requisite (s) for test:
 Transmission oil temperature: 35...50 °C
 Engine in idling condition
 Selector lever position P.
Check oil level:
Unscrew the locking screw [3]. After unscrewing the locking screw, the transmission oil must flow from the
overflow pipe [2] till the overflow pipe is emptied. In case of a correctly filled automatic transmission, approx. 1
drop drops from the overflow pipe per second. Screw the locking screw with a new sealing.

Automated Shift Transmission (AST) – Characteristics
1.Which functions must be changed so that the shift transmission is adapted
to the automated shift transmission?
-Clutch actuation
-Gear switch movement in the direction X and Y.
2.How are these functions triggered?
Pneumatically, hydraulically, electrically, electro-hydraulically.
The important characteristics of the automated shift transmission
are:
•Compact design,
•High efficiency,
•Adjusting the available transmission is possible
•More cost-effective than the stepped automatic transmission or
continuously variable transmission,
•Easy operation,
•Suitable switching strategies in order to achieve an optimal fuel
consumption
or best consumption values and
•interruption in traction force while switching.

Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT)
• Hydrodynamic converter or
multi-disk clutch as drive-off element
• Direct transmission with cone pulley
and steel thrust belt (variator)
• High pressure hydraulics (expensive)
• Electrohydraulic control
• Predominant in the Asian market
• Jatco global market leader (CVT)
Disadvantage
- Still less customer acceptance
- Expensive
Advantage
- No interruption in the traction force
- Torque transmission up to (380 Nm)
- Spread angle up to 6.25
- Best driving comfort
