Abstract:
A parallel axes type automatic transmission including a first input shaft having m or more (m is an integer not less than 2) wet multiplate clutches and drive gears rotatably mounted, a second input shaft having n or more (n is an integer greater than m and not less than 3) wet multiplate clutches and drive gears rotatably mounted, and a third input shaft having m or less wet multiplate clutches and drive gears rotatably mounted. The automatic transmission further includes an output shaft having a fixed final drive gear and a plurality of fixed driven gears. The first, second, and third input shafts are arranged at different levels so that the second input shaft is arranged at the highest level, the first input shaft is arranged at the middle level, and the third input shaft is arranged at the lowest level.
Abstract:
A control section determines a driving state of a vehicle and controls first and second solenoid valves on the basis of the determined driving state. An oil passage length of a second oil discharge passage is shorter than that of a first oil discharge passage and a discharge end of the second oil discharge passage is opened at a lower position than that of the first oil discharge passage. The control section derives hydraulic oil, discharged from an oil chamber via a first shift valve, to the first oil discharge passage by means of a second shift valve when it is determined that the driving state is one during normal driving. The control section derives the hydraulic oil to the second oil discharge passage by means of the second shift valve when it is determined that the driving state is one required for rapid lock-up off.
