AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
The modern automatic transmission is by far, the most complicated mechanical component in today’s automobile. It is a type of transmission that sifts itself. A fluid coupling or torque converter is used instead of a manually operated clutch to connect the transmission to the engine.
There are two basic types of automatic transmission based on whether the vehicle is rear wheel drive or front wheel drive. On a rear wheel drive car, the transmission is usually mounted to the back of the engine and is located under the hump in the center of the floorboard alongside the gas pedal position. A drive shaft connects the transmission to the final drive which is located in the rear axle and is used to send power to the rear wheels. Power flow on this system is simple and straight forward going from the engine, through the torque converter, then trough the transmission and drive shaft until it reaches the final drive where it is split and sent to the two rear transmission.
On a front wheel drive car, the transmission is usually combined with the final drive to form what is called a transaxle. The engine on a front wheel drive car is usually mounted sideways in the car with the transaxle tucked under it on the side of the engine facing the rear of the car. Front axles are connected directly to the transaxle and provide power to front wheels. In this example, power floes from the engine, through the torque converter to a larger chain that sends the power through a 180 degree turn to the transmission that is along side the engine. From there, the power is routed through the transmission to the final drive where it is split and sent to the two front wheels through the drive axles.
There are a number of other arrangements including front drive vehicles where the engine is mounted front to back instead of sideways and there are other systems that drive all four wheels but the two systems described here are by far the most popular. A much less popular rear and is connected by a drive shaft to the torque converter which is still mounted on the engine. This system is found on the new Corvette and is used in order to balance the weight evenly between the front and rear wheels for improved performance and handling. Another rear drive system mounts everything, the engine, transmission and final drive in the rear. This rear engine arrangement is popular on the Porsche.
The modern automatic transmission consists of many components and systems that designed to work together in a symphony of planetary gear sets , the hydraulic system, seals and gaskets , the torque converter , the governor and the modulator or throttle cable and computer controls that has evolved over the years into what many mechanical inclined individuals consider to be an art from . Here try to use simple, generic explanation where possible to describe these systems.
1）Planetary gear sets
Automatic transmission contains many gears in various combinations. In a manual transmission, gears slide along shafts as you move the shift lever from one position to another, engaging various sizes gears as required in order to provide the correct gear ratio. In an automatic transmission, how ever, the gears are never physically moved and are always engaged to the same gears. This is accomplished through the use of planetary gear sets.
The basic planetary gear set consists of a sun gear, a ring and two or more planet gears, all remaining in constant mesh. The planet gears are connected to each other through a common carrier which allows the gears to spin on shafts called “pinions” which are attached to the carrier.
One example of a way that this system can be used is by connecting the ring gear to the input shaft coming from the engine, connecting the planet carrier to the output shaft, and locking the sun gear so that it can’t move. In this scenario , when we turn the ring gear , the planets will “walk” along the sun gear ( which is held stationary ) causing the planet carrier to turn the output shaft in the same direction as the input shaft but at a slower speed causing gear reduction ( similar to a car in first gear ) .
If we unlock the sun gear and lock any two elements together, this will cause all three elements to turn at the same speed so that to output shaft will turn at the same rate of speed as the input shaft. This is like a car that is third or high gear. Another way we can use a planetary gear set is by locking the planet carrier from moving, then applying power to the ring gear which will cause the sun gear to turn in opposite direction giving us reverse gear.
The illustration in Figure shows how the simple system described above would look in an actual transmission. The input shaft is connected to the ring gear; the output shaft is connected to the planet carrier which is also connected to a “Multi-disk” clutch pack. The sun gear is connected to drum which is also connected to the other half of the clutch pack. Surrounding the outside of the drum is a band that can be tightened around the drum when required to prevent the drum with the attached sun gear from turning.
The clutch pack is used, in this instance, to lock the planet carrier with the sun gear forcing both to turn at the same speed. If both the clutch pack and the band were released, the system would be in neutral. Turning the input shaft would turn the planet gears against the sun gear, but since noting is holding the sun gear, it will just spin free and have no effect on the output shaft. To place the unit in first gear, the band is applied to hold the sun gear from moving. To shift from first to high gear, the band is released and the clutch is applied causing the output shaft to turn at the same speed as the input shaft.
Many more combinations are possible using two or more planetary sets connected in various ways to provide the different forward speeds and reverse that are found in modern automatic transmission.
2）Clutch pack
A clutch pack consists of alternating disks that fit inside a clutch drum. Half of the disks are steel and have spines that fit into groves on the inside of the drum. The other half have a friction material bonded to their surface and have spines on the inside edge that fit groves on the outer surface of the adjoining hub. There is a piston inside the drum that is activated by oil pressure at the appropriate time to squeeze the clutch pack together so that the two components become locked and turn as one.
3）One-way Clutch
A one-way clutch (also known as a “sprig” clutch) is a device that will allow a component such as ring gear to turn freely in one direction but not in the other. This effect is just like that bicycle, where the pedals will turn the wheel when pedaling forward, but will spin free when pedaling backward.
A common place where a one-way clutch is used is in first gear when the shifter is in the drive position. When you begin to accelerate from a stop, the transmission starts out in first gear. But have you ever noticed what happens if you release the gas while it is still in first gear? The vehicle continues to coast as if you were in neutral. Now, shift into Low gear instead of Drive. When you let go of the gas in this case, you will feel the engine slow you down just like a standard shift car. The reason for this is that in Drive, one-way clutch is used whereas in Low, a clutch pack or a band is used.
4）Torque Converter
On automatic transmission, the torque converter takes the place of the clutch found on standard shift vehicles. It is there to allow the engine to continue running when the vehicle comes to a stop. The principle behind a torque converter is like taking a fan that is plugged into the wall and blowing air into another fan which is unplugged. If you grab the blade on the unplugged fan , you are able to hold it from turning but as soon as you let go , it will begin to speed up until it comes close to speed of the powered fan . The difference with a torque converter is that instead of using air it used oil or transmission fluid, to be more precise.
A torque converter is a lager doughnut shaped device that is mounted between the engine and the transmission. It consists of three internal elements that work together to transmit power to the transmission. The three elements of the torque converter are the pump, the Turbine, and the Stator. The pump is mounted directly to the torque housing which in turn is bolted directly to the engine’s crankshaft and turns at engine speed. The turbine is inside the housing and is connected directly to the input shaft of the transmission providing power to move the vehicle. The stator is mounted to a one-way clutch so that it can spin freely in one direction but not in the other. Each of the three elements has fins mounted in them to precisely direct the flow of oil through the converter.
With the engine running, transmission fluid is pulled into the pump section and is pushed outward by centrifugal force until it reaches the turbine section which stars it running. The fluid continues in a circular motion back towards the center of the turbine where it enters the stator. If the turbine is moving considerably slower than the pump , the fluid will make contact with the front of the stator fins which push the stator into the one way clutch and prevent it from turning . With the stator stopped, the fluid is directed by the stator fins to re-enter the pump at a “help” angle providing a torque increase. As the speed of the turbine catches up with the pump, the fluid starts hitting the stator blades on the back-side causing the stator to turn in the same direction as the pump and turbine. As the speed increase, all three elements begin to turn at approximately the same speed. Sine the ‘80s, in order to improve fuel economy, torque converters have been equipped with a lockup clutch which locks the turbine to the pump as the vehicle reaches approximately 40-50 mph. This lockup is controlled by computer and usually won’t engage unless the transmission is in 3rd or 4th gear.
5）Hydraulic System
The hydraulic system is a complex maze of passage and tubes that sends that sends transmission fluid and under pressure to all parts of the transmission and torque converter and. Transmission fluid serves a number of purpose including : shift control ,general lubrication and transmission cooling . Unlike the engine, which uses oil primary for lubrication, every aspect of a transmission‘s function is dependant on a constant supply of fluid is send pressure. In order to keep the transmission at normal operating temperature, a portion of the fluid is send to through one of two steel tubes to a special chamber that is submerged in anti-freeze in the radiator. Fluid passing through this chamber is cooled and then returned to the transmission through the other steel tube. A typical transmission has an avenge of ten quarts of fluid between the transmission , torque converter , and cooler tank , In fact , most of the components of a transmission are constantly submerged in fluid including the clutch packs and bands . The friction surfaces on these parts are designed to operate properly only when they are submerged in oil.
6）Oil Pump
The transmission oil pump (not to confuse with the pump element inside the torque converter) is responsible for producing all the oil pressure that is required in the transmission. The oil pump is mounted to front of the transmission case and is directly connected to a flange on the engine crankshaft; the pump will produce pressure whenever the engine is running as there is a sufficient amount of transmission fluid available. The oil enters the pump through a filter that is located at bottom of the transmission oil pan and travels up a pickup tube directly to the oil pump. The oil is then sent, under pressure to the pressure regulator, the valve body and the rest of the components, as required.
7）Valve Body
The valve body is the control center of the automatic transmission. It contains a maze of channels and passages that direct hydraulic fluid to the numerous valves which when activate the appropriate clutch pack of band servo to smoothly shift to the appropriate gear for each driving situation. Each of the many valves in the valve body has a specific purpose and is named for that function. For example the 2-3 shift valves activate the 2nd gear up-shift or the 3-2 shift timing valve which determines when a downshift should occur.
The most important valve and the one that you have direct control over is the manual valve. The manual valve is directly connected to the gear shift handle and covers and uncovers various passages depending on what position the gear shift is paced in. When you place the gear shift in Drive, for instance, the manual valve directs fluid to the clutch pack (s) that activates 1st gear. It also sets up to monitor vehicle speed and throttle position so that it can determine the optimal time and the force for the 1-2 shifts. On computer controlled transmission, you will also have electrical solenoids that are mounted in the valve body to direct fluid to the appropriate clutch packs or bands under computer control to more precisely control shift points.
8）Seals and Gaskets
An automatic transmission has many seals and gaskets to control the flow of hydraulic fluid and to keep it from leaking out. There are two main external seals: the front seal and the rear seal. The front seal seals the point where the torque converter mounts to the transmission case. This seal allows fluid to freely move from the converter to the transmission but keeps the fluid from leaking out. The rear seal keeps fluid from leaking past the output shaft.
A seal is usually made of rubber (similar to the rubber in a windshield wiper blade) and is used to keep oil from leaking past a moving part such as a spinning shaft. In some cases, the rubber is assisted by a spring that holds him rubber in close contact with the spinning shaft.
A gasket is a type of seal used to seal two stationary parts that are fasted together. Some common gasket materials are: paper, cork, rubber, silicone and soft metal.
Aside from the main seals, there are also a number of other seals and gasket that vary from transmission to transmission. A common example is the rubber O-ring that seals the shaft for the shift control lever. This is the shaft that you move when you manipulate the gear shifter. Another example that is common to most transmission is the oil pan gasket. In fact, seals are required anywhere that a device needs to pass through the transmission case with each one being a potential source for leaks.
9）Computer Controls
The computer uses sensors on the engine and transmission to detect such things as throttle position, vehicle speed, engine speed, engine load, stop light switch position, etc. to control exact shift points as well as how soft or firm the shift should be . Some computerized transmission even learns your driving style and constantly adapt to it so that every shift is timed precisely when you would need it.
Because of computer controls , sports models are coming out with the ability to take manual control of the transmission as through it were a stick shift lever through a special gate , then tapping it in one direction or the other in order to up-shift at will . The computer monitors this activity to make sure that the driver dose not select a gear that could over speed the engine and damage it.
Another advantage to this “smart” transmission is that they have a self diagnostic mode which can detect a problem early on and warn you with an indicator light on the dash. A technician can then plug test equipment in and retrieve a list of trouble codes that will help pinpoint where the problem is.
自動(dòng)變速器
對(duì)于現(xiàn)代的汽車，自動(dòng)變速器是一個(gè)復(fù)雜的組件，這種傳遞動(dòng)力的方式，是液力變矩期充當(dāng)離合器來(lái)連接發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)和變速器。
兩個(gè)基本類型的自動(dòng)變速器基于該車輛是否是前驅(qū)動(dòng)或后驅(qū)動(dòng)。對(duì)發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)前置后驅(qū)動(dòng)的汽車，變速器通常安裝在發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)后底盤中心與油門配合。變速器輸出軸連接到后橋，把發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)的動(dòng)力傳遞到后輪，動(dòng)力傳輸系統(tǒng)是直線的，從發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)，通過液力變矩器、變速器、傳動(dòng)軸、最后直接到到達(dá)車輪。
對(duì)于發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)前置前輪驅(qū)動(dòng)的汽車，變速器通常和差速器裝在一起。對(duì)于前驅(qū)動(dòng)的汽車，變速器安裝在發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)一側(cè)，前車軸直接連接到差速器上，把動(dòng)力傳遞給前輪。在這個(gè)布置中，動(dòng)力來(lái)自于發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)，通過液力變矩器、變速器輸出的動(dòng)力通過了一個(gè)180度大轉(zhuǎn)彎，經(jīng)過變速器沿發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)側(cè)邊通過傳動(dòng)軸輸出到前輪。
還有其它的一些布置，發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)前置前驅(qū)動(dòng)，發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)橫向布置，裝設(shè)一個(gè)分動(dòng)器可以實(shí)現(xiàn)四輪驅(qū)動(dòng)。但這種形式目前是最常用的：發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)中置后驅(qū)動(dòng)，可以使重量均勻的分布在前、后輪之間，改善了操作性能；發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)后置后驅(qū)動(dòng)，發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)、變速器、驅(qū)動(dòng)輪都在后方，這種后置式的發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)的安排，是最滿意的。
現(xiàn)代的自動(dòng)變速器包括了許多組件和系統(tǒng)的協(xié)同工作，有行星齒輪組、液壓系統(tǒng)、密封件和墊圈、變矩器、調(diào)節(jié)器、節(jié)氣門拉線、計(jì)算機(jī)控制這些都是多年來(lái)由機(jī)械式演變過來(lái)的。這用簡(jiǎn)單、通用的解釋，描述一下這些系統(tǒng)。
1）行星齒輪組
? ? 自動(dòng)變速器箱體內(nèi)有很多齒輪，有各種不同的組合，在一個(gè)變速箱內(nèi)，齒輪的滑動(dòng)沿軸線從一個(gè)位置到另一個(gè)位置，對(duì)各種大小齒輪的要求，有正確的傳動(dòng)比。在一個(gè)自動(dòng)變速箱，至始至終，不是齒輪的機(jī)械移動(dòng)來(lái)達(dá)到這一點(diǎn)的，通過行星齒輪組來(lái)完成。
基本的行星齒輪組成由一個(gè)太陽(yáng)輪、一個(gè)齒圈、并且有兩個(gè)或兩個(gè)以上的行星齒輪，全部齒輪都是常嚙合。行星齒輪的相互聯(lián)系通過一個(gè)共同的載體，使齒輪相互嚙合在一起。一個(gè)傳遞方式，這個(gè)系統(tǒng)可以從發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)的輸出連接到齒圈作為主動(dòng)件，連接行星輪作為從動(dòng)件，并鎖定太陽(yáng)輪，使起不能轉(zhuǎn)動(dòng)。在這情況下，當(dāng)我們把齒圈、行星齒輪，沿太陽(yáng)輪轉(zhuǎn)動(dòng)，主動(dòng)件與從動(dòng)件就同向轉(zhuǎn)動(dòng)，從動(dòng)件的轉(zhuǎn)速慢，齒輪減速就類似汽車的一擋。
如果解開太陽(yáng)輪和鎖定其它兩個(gè)元素，這就會(huì)使這三個(gè)要素以同樣的速度轉(zhuǎn)動(dòng)，齒輪的傳動(dòng)就類似于汽車是第三或高擋位。另一個(gè)方式是，把行星架鎖定，使太陽(yáng)輪作為主動(dòng)輪，齒圈作為從動(dòng)件，這時(shí)它們的轉(zhuǎn)動(dòng)方向就相反，就類似以汽車的到擋。
上面所說的，在實(shí)際的傳動(dòng)過程是如何控制。齒圈為輸入軸，行星架為輸出軸，都是通過盤式離合器控制。太陽(yáng)輪一個(gè)單向離合器，一個(gè)制動(dòng)器，當(dāng)制動(dòng)器作用時(shí)，太陽(yáng)輪只能從一個(gè)方向轉(zhuǎn)動(dòng)。
在這情況下，離合器的使用，鎖定行星架與太陽(yáng)輪迫使它們以相同的轉(zhuǎn)速轉(zhuǎn)動(dòng)。如果它們的離合器和制動(dòng)器都被釋放，該系統(tǒng)在自由狀態(tài)。變速器的行星齒輪組太陽(yáng)輪是自由的，比輸出動(dòng)力。在一擋位，制動(dòng)器制動(dòng)太陽(yáng)輪跟隨轉(zhuǎn)動(dòng)，從第一擋到高擋制動(dòng)器釋放和離合器使用到輸入軸，它們以同一個(gè)速度轉(zhuǎn)動(dòng)。
使用兩個(gè)或兩個(gè)以上的行星齒輪組以各種方式連接，可提供不同的前進(jìn)速度和扭矩，普遍的使用以現(xiàn)代的自動(dòng)變速器。
2）片式離合器
片式離合器主要由若干交替排列的離合器盤和離合器片組成。每片離合器盤上有伸出的突線，勾住離合器鼓，以輸入軸連接。離合器片內(nèi)的鍵槽與離合器殼互相嚙合，離合器殼與中間軸鍵槽連接，中間軸又與后行星排內(nèi)齒圈用鍵槽連接。因此，離合器盤和離合器片分別與輸入軸和湖行星排內(nèi)齒圈連接。操作離合器的活塞安裝以離合器鼓上，離合器鼓亦稱做為活塞缸。
3）單向離合器
單向離合器是一種只可以使元件在一個(gè)方向轉(zhuǎn)動(dòng)，如把齒圈自由在一貫方向，而不能反向轉(zhuǎn)動(dòng)，這種作用就象是，自行車踏板轉(zhuǎn)動(dòng)時(shí)，可以帶動(dòng)車輪轉(zhuǎn)動(dòng)，當(dāng)車輪轉(zhuǎn)動(dòng)或向另一個(gè)方向轉(zhuǎn)動(dòng)是自由的
一個(gè)單向離合器用于一擋時(shí)，在驅(qū)動(dòng)方向是，當(dāng)從停止開始加速，在第一個(gè)齒輪輸出動(dòng)力，如果繼續(xù)加速，不在一擋位？汽車?yán)^續(xù)加速，他就是一個(gè)方向自由的。此時(shí)，單向離合器不在輸出動(dòng)力，當(dāng)車速慢下來(lái)時(shí)，轉(zhuǎn)速慢，它就可以起作用。這一個(gè)現(xiàn)象由于，在提供力的時(shí)候它才起作用，在高速時(shí)，是自由的。
4）液力變矩器
對(duì)于自動(dòng)變速器，液力變矩器取代離合器裝于車上。它的作用是：當(dāng)車停下來(lái)，發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)還可以繼續(xù)運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)。傳遞扭矩的原理，比如，把一個(gè)風(fēng)扇吹向另一個(gè)，另一個(gè)不用插電也能跟它一起轉(zhuǎn)動(dòng)，如果你壓住扇片，它就不會(huì)轉(zhuǎn)動(dòng)，但你一放手，它就開始加速，直到速度接近動(dòng)力風(fēng)扇。它們兩者的差異就是：變矩器不是利用空氣，而是利用油液，以使他的傳遞更加準(zhǔn)確。
液力變矩器是一個(gè)較大的盆壯裝置，安裝在發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)與變速器之間。它包含三個(gè)部件，協(xié)同工作，為變速器提供動(dòng)力，液力變矩器的三要素是：泵論、渦輪、導(dǎo)輪，泵論是通過螺栓直接安裝在發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)的曲軸上，轉(zhuǎn)速與發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)的相同，渦輪連接到變速器的輸入軸上，為汽車提供動(dòng)力，導(dǎo)輪上裝有一個(gè)單向離合器，使他只可以在一個(gè)方向轉(zhuǎn)動(dòng)，而在另一方被固定，每一個(gè)要素之間通過液流傳遞扭矩。
發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)啟動(dòng)后，輸入軸開始旋轉(zhuǎn)，帶動(dòng)泵輪旋轉(zhuǎn)，因旋轉(zhuǎn)產(chǎn)生的離心力使泵輪葉片間的液流沿葉片從外緣向外甩出；接著又由于泵輪和渦輪轉(zhuǎn)速差引起泵輪葉片外緣與渦輪葉片外緣產(chǎn)生了壓力差，液流從液壓高的泵輪葉片外緣流進(jìn)渦輪葉片外緣，同時(shí)，泵輪的旋轉(zhuǎn)也使得其葉片帶動(dòng)液流隨工作輪旋轉(zhuǎn)，這一旋轉(zhuǎn)就使液流流進(jìn)渦輪時(shí)方向改變，從而沖擊渦輪葉片推動(dòng)渦輪繞泵輪同一方向旋轉(zhuǎn)。從渦輪流出的液流進(jìn)入固定不動(dòng)的導(dǎo)輪，經(jīng)導(dǎo)輪葉片改變方向后回流至泵輪。如果渦輪的速度大大低于泵輪轉(zhuǎn)素時(shí)，導(dǎo)輪仍鎖住不動(dòng)。導(dǎo)輪停止，液流通過導(dǎo)輪時(shí)重新進(jìn)入泵輪，促使泵輪旋轉(zhuǎn)起到扭矩增大的作用。由于泵輪和導(dǎo)輪的轉(zhuǎn)速增加，液流開始改變方向流向泵輪葉片背面，也可以產(chǎn)生增矩的作用。由于車速的提高，這三要素句以相同的轉(zhuǎn)速旋轉(zhuǎn)，為了提高燃油經(jīng)濟(jì)性，在液力變矩器上裝了一個(gè)鎖止離合器，車速達(dá)到40—50英里的時(shí)候，鎖止離合器就把三要素連為一體，這種控制是計(jì)算機(jī)控制。
5）液壓系統(tǒng)
液壓系統(tǒng)是一個(gè)復(fù)雜的迷宮壯通道，液流壓力控制變速器扭矩的輸出，。液流有若干用途，包括：換擋控制、潤(rùn)滑、冷卻。不象發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)，它只用來(lái)潤(rùn)滑，每一個(gè)流動(dòng)，是依賴于不斷提供的液體壓力。為了使油液在一個(gè)正常的溫度工作，部分液流從散熱器中流過以便散熱。液體通過此通道被冷卻，然后返回到傳輸通道。液里變矩器和散熱器，是用來(lái)給液流散熱的。事實(shí)上大部分的摩擦表面都淹沒在油液中，比如：離合器盤、離合器片，也能正常的工作。
6）油泵
油泵主要是負(fù)責(zé)提供油液傳輸過程中的壓力，油泵安裝在前面的泵輪上，并且以發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)的曲軸相連，當(dāng)發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)轉(zhuǎn)動(dòng)時(shí)，帶動(dòng)油泵運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)，產(chǎn)生壓力，提供足夠的油。油進(jìn)入油泵時(shí)通過一個(gè)空氣濾清器，安裝在油底殼的底部。壓力調(diào)節(jié)器、調(diào)壓閥、壓力修正閥調(diào)節(jié)后送到各個(gè)管路。
7）閥體
閥體是自動(dòng)變速器的控制中心。它包含一個(gè)迷宮壯的通道輸送液壓油，在每一個(gè)工況下控制離合器和其它伺服機(jī)構(gòu)，順利的控制齒輪傳動(dòng)情況。
最重要的閥門一個(gè)直接控制的手動(dòng)閥。手動(dòng)閥是直接連接到齒輪變速箱里面的，根據(jù)它所在位置打開或關(guān)閉各種通道，控制換擋節(jié)奏。用齒輪變速傳動(dòng)來(lái)舉例說明，監(jiān)控車輛的速度和油門的位置，以便它能確定最佳的換擋時(shí)間，。計(jì)算機(jī)的控制，通過電磁閥控制油壓壓力，控制離合器或制動(dòng)器，以更精確的控制換擋點(diǎn)。
8）密封墊和墊圈
一個(gè)自動(dòng)變速器有許多的密封件和墊圈，以控制流動(dòng)的液壓油，使它不外泄。主要有兩個(gè)外部密封墊：前油封和后油封。前油封安裝到變速器的變矩器，這使得油底殼到變矩器的油液能自由流動(dòng)，而不外泄。后密封墊使游液不泄漏到輸出軸。
密封墊通常用橡膠（類似汽車擋風(fēng)玻璃雨刮器葉片），它是用來(lái)保持不泄漏到其它部分，如旋轉(zhuǎn)軸。在有的情況下，用一個(gè)彈簧和橡膠在一起，如用在花鍵軸。
墊圈是一種用來(lái)密封兩個(gè)固定部分，使其連接在一起。一些常見的襯墊材料是：硬紙、軟木、橡膠、有機(jī)硅和軟金屬。
除了主要的密封墊，也有一些其它的密封墊和墊片，因使用條件而定，有的從軸到軸的連接。一個(gè)常見的例子是橡膠O型密封圈用來(lái)密封換的擋軸。就是說，你所操作的邊速杠在轉(zhuǎn)動(dòng)時(shí)，另一個(gè)例子是大部分常見的油底殼墊片，事實(shí)上，密封墊是隨時(shí)進(jìn)行更換，防止油不泄漏。
9）計(jì)算機(jī)控制
計(jì)算機(jī)控制是利用傳感器對(duì)發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)和變速器提取數(shù)據(jù)，因?yàn)楣?jié)氣門位置、汽車行駛速度、發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)轉(zhuǎn)速、發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)負(fù)荷等是變數(shù)。利用這些數(shù)據(jù)可以精確控制換擋點(diǎn)，以便換擋平順。一些電腦數(shù)據(jù)，能了解行駛條件，并不斷的適應(yīng)行駛條件的變化，使汽車穩(wěn)定的行駛。
由于計(jì)算機(jī)的控制，通過一個(gè)特殊的元素代替了手動(dòng)控制，在每一個(gè)工況都是安全的。計(jì)算機(jī)的控制，確保發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)轉(zhuǎn)速不至于過高而使發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)損壞。
另一個(gè)好處是，這些精確的數(shù)據(jù)輸入系統(tǒng)，有一個(gè)自診斷系統(tǒng)，以便能使我們及時(shí)的發(fā)現(xiàn)問題，當(dāng)有問題時(shí)，故障指示燈就閃爍。維修人員就可以根據(jù)檢測(cè)設(shè)備檢測(cè)出的故障碼，很快的找到問題所在部位。
