Shift MechanismNBAT0012The automatic transmission uses compact, dual planetary gear systems to improve power-transmission
efficiency, simplify construction and reduce weight.
It also employs an optimum shift control and superwide gear ratios. They improve starting performance and
acceleration during medium and high-speed operation.
Two one-way clutches are also employed: one is used for the forward clutch and the other for the low clutch.
These one-way clutches, combined with four accumulators, reduce shifting shock to a minimum.

*1: Operates when overdrive control switch is being set in ªOFFº position.
*2: Oil pressure is applied to both 2nd ªapplyº side and 3rd ªreleaseº side of band servo piston. However, brake band does not contract
because oil pressure area on the ªreleaseº side is greater than that on the ªapplyº side.
*3: Oil pressure is applied to 4th ªapplyº side in condition *2 above, and brake band contracts.
*4: A/T will not shift to 4th when overdrive control switch is set in ªOFFº position.
*5: Operates when overdrive control switch is ªOFFº.
q: Operates.
A: Operates when throttle opening is less than 3/16, activating engine brake.
B: Operates during ªprogressiveº acceleration.
C: Operates but does not affect power transmission.
D: Operates when throttle opening is less than 3/16, but does not affect engine brake.

Low and reverse brakeAs overrun clutch engages, rear internal gear is locked by the operation of low and
reverse brake.
This is different from that of D

Engine brake Overrun clutch always engages, therefore engine brake can be obtained when decelerat-
ing.

Brake bandRear sun gear drives rear planetary carrier and combined front internal gear. Front inter-
nal gear now rotates around front sun gear accompanying front planetary carrier.
As front planetary carrier transfers the power to rear internal gear through forward clutch
and forward one-way clutch, this rotation of rear internal gear increases the speed of
rear planetary carrier compared with that of the 1st speed.

(Does not affect power transmission)Input power is transmitted to front carrier through high clutch.
This front planetary carrier turns around the sun gear which is fixed by brake band and
makes front internal gear (output) turn faster.
Engine brake At D

brake can be obtained when decelerating.

Input power is transmitted to front sun gear through reverse clutch, which drives front

obtained when decelerating.

TCM FUNCTION=NBAT0013S03The function of the TCM is to:
IReceive input signals sent from various switches and sensors.
IDetermine required line pressure, shifting point, lock-up operation, and engine brake operation.
ISend required output signals to the respective solenoids.
INPUT/OUTPUT SIGNAL OF TCMNBAT0013S04
Sensors and solenoid valves Function
InputPNP switch Detects select lever position and sends a signal to TCM.
Throttle position sensor Detects throttle valve position and sends a signal to TCM.
Closed throttle position switch Detects throttle valve's fully-closed position and sends a signal to TCM.
Wide open throttle position switchDetects a throttle valve position of greater than 1/2 of full throttle and sends
a signal to TCM.
Engine speed signal From ECM.
A/T fluid temperature sensor Detects transmission fluid temperature and sends a signal to TCM.
Revolution sensor Detects output shaft rpm and sends a signal to TCM.
Vehicle speed sensorUsed as an auxiliary vehicle speed sensor. Sends a signal when revolution
sensor (installed on transmission) malfunctions.
Overdrive control switchSends a signal, which prohibits a shift to ªD
4º (overdrive) position, to the
TCM.
ASCD control unitSends the cruise signal and ªD
4º (overdrive) cancellation signal from ASCD
control unit to TCM.
Turbine revolution sensor Sends an input shaft revolution signal.
Stop lamp switch Sends the lock-up release signal to the TCM at time of D
4(lock-up).
OutputShift solenoid valve A/BSelects shifting point suited to driving conditions in relation to a signal sent
from TCM.
Line pressure solenoid valveRegulates (or decreases) line pressure suited to driving conditions in rela-
tion to a signal sent from TCM.
Torque converter clutch solenoid
valveRegulates (or decreases) lock-up pressure suited to driving conditions in
relation to a signal sent from TCM.
Overrun clutch solenoid valveControls an ªengine brakeº effect suited to driving conditions in relation to a
signal sent from TCM.
O/D OFF indicator lamp Shows TCM faults, when A/T control components malfunction.
Control MechanismNBAT0180LINE PRESSURE CONTROLNBAT0180S01TCM has the various line pressure control characteristics to meet
the driving conditions.
An ON-OFF duty signal is sent to the line pressure solenoid valve
based on TCM characteristics.
Hydraulic pressure on the clutch and brake is electronically con-
trolled through the line pressure solenoid valve to accommodate
engine torque. This results in smooth shift operation.

Normal ControlNBAT0180S0101The line pressure to throttle opening characteristics is set for suit-
able clutch operation.
SAT004J
Back-up Control (Engine brake)NBAT0180S0102If the selector lever is shifted to ª2º position while driving in D4(OD)
or D
3, great driving force is applied to the clutch inside the trans-
mission. Clutch operating pressure (line pressure) must be
increased to deal with this driving force.
SAT005J
During Shift ChangeNBAT0180S0103The line pressure is temporarily reduced corresponding to a
change in engine torque when shifting gears (that is, when the shift
solenoid valve is switched for clutch operation) to reduce shifting
shock.
At Low Fluid TemperatureNBAT0180S0104IFluid viscosity and frictional characteristics of the clutch facing
change with fluid temperature. Clutch engaging or band-con-
tacting pressure is compensated for, according to fluid
temperature, to stabilize shifting quality.
SAT006J
IThe line pressure is reduced below 60ÉC (140ÉF) to prevent
shifting shock due to low viscosity of automatic transmission
fluid when temperature is low.
