Powershift Control and Shifting Flashcards
Typical clutch application pressures range from
100 - 500 PSI
Typical Lube pressure
30-50 PSI
TC relief valve
Located in parallel to the inlet of the TC, dumps directly bank to sump
Used to limit max pressure in the TC
Typical TC charge presure
50-125 PSI
Lube relief valve
Controls the max lube pressure, usually located after cooler and before oil get to lube components
What are the 4 pumps located in the powershift oil pump group
Transmission scavenging pump
TC/TD scavenging pump
Transmission charging pump
Steering and Brake lube pump
Trans Shift Selector - Load piston
Controls the rate of pressure rise in the clutch pistons
Called shift modulation and is done to prevent shift shock, and clutch slippage
Trans Shift Selector - Pressure differential valve
Controls which clutch will apply first (F/R or 123)
TC outlet relief valve
Limits the maximum working pressure in the TC. Spool is usually identical in size on both sides, so it has a pilot drilling to allow oil to enter opposite side of spring to create pressure diff.
Valve spring cavities
Almost all control spring cavities have a drain back to tank to prevent oil from getting trapped
Trans oil cooler
Long tubes inside for coolant to travel through is called straw type cooler
located following TC
The 3 hydraulic circuits in a basic shift control system are
Clutch application circuit
Converter charging circuit
Trans lube circuit
Oil flow for trans control system operation is supplied by
Charging pump driven at engine speed
In a basic hydraulic shift control system, speed and direction changes are made by the
Shift selector valve
The function of the clutch pressure regulator valve is to
Limit the application pressure applied to the clutch pistons
