Q

Trans Shift Selector - Load piston

A

Controls the rate of pressure rise in the clutch pistons

Called shift modulation and is done to prevent shift shock, and clutch slippage

Q

TC outlet relief valve

A

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.

Q

The circuit that receives oil flow after the clutch application circuit has been satisfied is the

A

Converter charging circuit

17
Q

Maximum pressure in the TC is controlled by

A

TC relief valve

18
Q

What is the function of a trans scavenge pump (if equipped)

A

Remove leakage oil from the trans case

19
Q

Clutch modulation refers to

A

Controlling the build up of pressure in the clutch piston allowing controlled slippage of the clutch discs

20
Q

The factors that influence the point at which an automatic transmission shift are

A

Machine ground speed

Operator demand for power

21
Q

Modulator circuit

A

Is used to alter the shift points of the transmission in relation to the operator demand for power

22
Q

Modulator valve operation

A

When greater power demand is called for the cable moves tapered end reducing the spring pressure created in valve, this means instead of adding 50 psi (EX) to help governor it adds closer to zero meaning that vehicle speed has to be increased to raise governor pressure to make next upshift

23
Q

4 types of shift dampening devices

A

orifice control
modulation
trimmer
accumulator

24
Q

Orifice control shift dampening

A

Commonly used to control clutch release rates

placed in line between relay valve and sump to slow the rate at which springs push oil back

25
Q

Trimmer valve shift dampening

A

When pressure starts to develop in clutch a piston in valve moves allowing some oil to go to sump, as pressure move through orifice in piston, piston is pushed back up and sump port is blocked again continuing to fill clutch

26
Q

The function of the governor circuit in auto trans is

A

Provide a hydraulic signal that is proportional to machine ground speed

27
Q

Governor flyweights balance against what

A

Governor pressure

28
Q

How are shift point normally adjusted in auto trans

A

By varying the shift signal valve spring force

29
Q

The function of the modulator circuit is what

A

Provide a hydraulic signal that is proportional to the position of the engine throttle, this pressure is used to delay shift points when throttle is wide open

30
Q

4 functions of the ECU in an electronically controlled shift system

A

Control up and down shifts
Control clutch modulation
Provide diagnostic info
Provide warning to operator when malfunction occurs

31
Q

What output device is responsible for causing speed and direction changes

A

Shift solenoids
