摘要:
A torque converter lockup clutch is pressurized from a source of regulated line pressure through a lockup clutch control valve, which directs pressure to either of two passages to apply and release the clutch. The control valve is supplied with control pressure from a solenoid-operated valve that produces high and low fluid pressure states corresponding to commands to engage and release the lockup clutch. A second control pressure, opposing the effect of the solenoid-operated control pressure, is applied to the control valve when the vehicle operator manually selects certain gear ratios, principally the lowest forward and reverse gear ratios. A line pressure regulator valve produces line pressure whose magnitude is proportional to the magnitude of a control pressure representing a commanded engine torque output. The pressure produced when the vehicle operator manually selects low gear ratios is applied also to the main regulator valve, which produces a line pressure that varies linearly with engine torque control pressure and increases, in comparison to line pressure at all other gear ratios, when low gear ratios are selected. A converter regulator valve limits the level of line pressure directed by the main regulator valve to the converter clutch control valve.

An automatic transmission control circuit having a hydrokinetic torque converter and planetary gearing in a torque delivery driveline wherein provision is made for interrupting the torque delivery and interrupting a driving connection between the engine and the gearing where the vehicle is operated at a speed less than a minimum value and the vehicle brakes are applied thereby improving exhaust emissions from the engine and improving fuel economy during idling and eliminating the tendency for the vehicle to creep when the vehicle is standing.

A manual valve alternately connects a source of regulated line pressure to a forward drive passage and to a reverse drive passage. A shift valve alternately connects these passages to an input port of a coast clutch valve in accordance with the state of a solenoid-operated valve. A control port of the coast clutch shift valve is pressurized either from a manual valve, when the gear is selected manually by the vehicle operator, or from the source of variable pressure control by operation of a variable force solenoid. In accordance with the control pressure, the coast clutch shift valve either connects its input to a line connected to the coast clutch or vents the input to a drain passage in the shift valve.
摘要:
A control valve system for an automatic power transmission mechanism having planetary gearing defining plural torque delivery paths comprising fluid pressure servo operated brakes and clutches and a vehicle speed sensitive servo release shuttle valve which cooperates with the timing valve circuit to establish a first timed relationship between the application and release of the servos during a ratio change from the high ratio to an intermediate underdrive ratio at a relatively high speed and for establishing a different timing relationship between those circuit elements during a corresponding ratio change at a lower vehicle speed, the rate of application of the underdrive ratio servo during a ratio change from the lowest ratio to an intermediate underdrive ratio being calibrated independently of the calibration required for a ratio change from the high speed ratio to the same intermediate underdrive ratio.
