What Causes Transmission Function Limitation?
1 Answers
Transmission function limitation is caused by a malfunction in the transmission hydraulic control unit, which requires disassembling the unit—comprising the transmission computer and valve body. These components are combined to form the electro-hydraulic control unit assembly. Below is an introduction to automotive transmissions: 1. Concept: An automotive transmission is a gear-shifting mechanism designed to coordinate the engine's speed with the actual driving speed of the wheels, optimizing engine performance. It enables variable gear ratios between the engine and wheels during operation, allowing the engine to operate within its optimal power range. The trend in transmission development is toward increasing complexity and automation, with automatic transmissions becoming the future mainstream. 2. Functions: The transmission alters the gear ratio to expand the range of torque and speed variations at the drive wheels, adapting to frequently changing driving conditions while keeping the engine operating under favorable conditions (higher power and lower fuel consumption). It enables reverse driving without changing the engine's rotation direction. By engaging neutral gear, it interrupts power transmission, allowing the engine to start, idle, and facilitating gear shifts or power output. A transmission consists of a gear-shifting mechanism and a control mechanism, with an optional power take-off unit. It can be classified in two ways: by the method of gear ratio change and by the type of control mechanism.
