摘要:
A hydraulic control system for an automatic transmission includes a planetary gear system having a plurality of clutch elements that alters the torque ratio of the transmission. The hydraulic control system includes a line pressure control device for regulating a variable hydraulic line pressure from a maximum line pressure to a fixed fluid line pressure that is lower than the maximum line pressure when an overdrive clutch is applied in a high gear.

A bolt lock locks a bolt against rotation on an output gear. The bolt lock includes a locking plate having a ring-shaped body encircling the head of the bolt and provided with locking tabs bendable into locking engagement with the flat sides of the bolt head to prevent the bolt from rotating. The plate is secured to the output gear by additional bolts. The ring-shaped body has additional locking tabs bendable into locking engagement with the flat sides of the heads of the additional bolts.

A lubrication system for a north-south transaxle includes a case having a passageway extending longitudinally and a cavity at one end of the passageway having an opening generally perpendicular to the passageway. The lubrication system also includes a transfer assembly disposed in the passageway and a differential assembly disposed in the cavity and engaging the transfer assembly. The lubrication system further includes means for delivering fluid in the cavity to the transfer assembly.

An adaptive control system in an automatic four-speed transmission having a unique clutch and gear arrangement which eliminates the need for additional gearing and one over-running clutch, while requiring only one more friction element. The vehicle transmission assembly includes a transmission housing, a rotatable input member, an output member, and a gear assembly for changing the ratio of torque between the input member and the output member. Three clutch assemblies selectively couple the rotatable input member to predetermine gears of the gear assembly and two brake assemblies selectively couple predetermined gears of the gear assembly to the transmission housing. The gear assembly includes the first planetary gear set and a second planetary gear set. The first clutch assembly selectively couples the input member to the second sun gear, the second clutch assembly selectively couples the input member to the first planet carrier, the third clutch assembly selectively couples the input member to the first sun gear, the first brake assembly selectively couples the first sun gear to the transmission housing, and the second brake assembly selectively couples the first planet carrier and the second annulus gear to the transmission housing. An output member is connected to the second planet carrier to allow the output member and the second planet carrier to rotate at the same time.

A multi-speed hybrid transmission includes a main gearset connected to a vehicle gas combustible engine and providing torque to an output shaft. The transmission also includes an electric drive unit comprising an electric motor that is selectably connectable to the output shaft to provide additional torque to the output shaft. When connected to the output shaft, the electric drive unit improves vehicle performance under certain driving conditions (e.g., high boost in low gear or in upper gears) while also improving fuel efficiency.

A pump gear for an automatic transmission oil pump having a plurality of teeth. The thickness of each tooth varies randomly from a baseline thickness T.sub.B. Correspondingly, the clearance between each tooth varies randomly between each pair of adjacent teeth. The random variation in tooth thickness prevents the formation of resonant frequencies when the gear pump operates, thereby reducing noise produced by the automatic transmission oil pump.
