Transmission/Transaxle Cooling - 4.0L NA V8 - AJ27/3.2L NA V8 - AJ26 -
Transmission Cooling
Description and Operation
The transmission fluid cooling system maintains fluid temperature within specified limits.

Parts List
Component Descriptions
The transmission fluid pipes:
Transfer fluid from the transmission to the cooler under the action of the hydraulic system pump. Return the cooled fluid from th e cooler to the transmission.
The transmission fluid cooler:
Is a plate type made from aluminum. Is mounted in the engi ne cooling radiator right-hand end tank.
Overheating Protection
If the engine coolant or transm ission fluid temperatures exceed their predefined limits, th e transmission control module locks
the torque converter clutch. By reducing slip, this minimises th e amount of heat transferred to the engine cooling system from
the transmission fluid.

General Layout

Overheating Protection
If the engine coolant or transmission fluid temperatures exceed their predefined limits, the transmission control module
locks the torque converter clutch . By reducing slip, this minimises the amount of heat transferred to the engine cooling
system from the transmission fluid.

Description and Operation
Introduction
Driver gearshift control is effected by:
The gear shift lever. The accelerator pedal position. The kickdown switch (where fitted). The performance mode pushbutton.
Driver's Selector Module ('J' Gate)

The gear selector lever:
Has seven positions: Park, Reverse, Neutral, Drive, Fourth, Third and Second. Operates the transmission selector shaft and rotary switch, in all positions (except Drive-to-fourth) by means of a
Bowden cable.
Passes driver gearshift requests to the transm ission control module via the rotary switch.
ItemPart NumberDescription
1—Gear selector lever
2—Drive-to-fourth switch connector
3—Neutral position switch connector
4—Park position switch connector
5—Gear selector illumination module
6—Gear selector interlock solenoid
7—Security system Active LED

The Drive-to-fourth switch:
Detects when the gear selector lever is moved from Drive to Fourth. Is hard-wired to the transmission control module.
The Neutral position switch:
Is hard-wired to the body processor module. Detects when the gear selector lever is moved to the Neutral position.
The Park position switch:
Is hard-wired to the body processor module. Detects when the gear selector leve r is moved to the Park position.
The gear selector module:
Provides illumination of the gear sele ctor surround, which is dimmable via a CA N signal from the instrument cluster. Provides red illumination, on the gear selector surround, of the gear selected, by CAN signals from the instrument
cluster.
Illuminates the security system Active LED on the gear se lector surround, in response to an input from the body
processor module.
Is connected to the fascia harness via a 12-way connector. Refer to Connec tor Pins Identification, 307-01A.
The gear selector interlock solenoid:
Prevents the gear selector lever from be ing moved from the Park position, unless th e ignition switch is in position II,
and the brake pedal is depressed.
Is controlled by an input from the body processor module.
The seven gear selector positions are:
P : The transmission is mechanically locked (starting available). R : Reverse gear. N : No power to the rear wh eels (starting available). D : All 5 forward gears available. 4 : Upshift to 4th gear only. 3 : Upshift to 3rd gear only. 2 : Upshift to 2nd gear only.
Performance Mode Pushbutton

The performance mode pushbutton:
Is mounted on the gear selector surround. Selects Normal or Sport mode when pressed by the driver. Is illuminated when Sport mode is selected.

Is hard-wired to the transmission control module.
Kickdown Switch (where fitted)

The kickdown switch:
Is floor mounted under the accelerator pedal. Is operated by pressing the pedal to the full throttle position. Provides maximum acceleration on driver demand, by signal ling the transmission control module to select the lowest gear to give maximum wheel torque.
Transmission Unit Gear Selector

The gear selector at the transmission unit:
Is connected to the driver's selector module by a Bowden cable. Operates the manual selector valve, which is part of the electro-hydraulic control unit. Operates the rotary switch, which is connected to the transmission control module.

Description and Operation
Introduction
Operator gearshift control is effected by:
The selector lever Accelerator pedal position Kickdown The mode switch
Operator's Selector Module ('J' Gate)

Selector lever:
Gear selector positions are:
P Transmission mechanically locked, starting available * R Reverse gear N Neutral gear, no power to the rear wheels (starting available) D Drive gear, all 5 forward gears available (see Performance Mode Pushbutton) 4 Upshift to 4th gear only 3 Upshift to 3rd gear only 2 Upshift to 2nd gear only
Gearshift Interlock Manual Override*
The interlock system which locks the sele ctor in P and prevents the ignition key from being removed except when P is
selected, may be manually overridden in the event of an emergency.
1. 1. With the parking brake applied
2. 2. Remove the access blank using a suitable Torx bit
3. 3. Insert a small screwdriver into the vacated hole
4. 4. Push the screwdriver downwards, gently, and hold whilst simultaneously moving the selector from P towards R ,
but do not engage R until the tool has been removed
5. 5. An audible warning may be heard when operation 4 is carried out
6. 6. With the selector in N and the access bl ank replaced, the vehicle may be started
Range Selection
The selector lever transmits operator demand to the transmission and TCM by means of a cable and Dual-Linear
Switch (DLS).
The lever operates the transmission assemb ly selector shaft, only for P R N D , by means of a cable. Movement of the
lever across the gate to 4, 3 and 2 positions disengages th e cable from the selector lever and engages the DLS which
controls gear selection electronically.
Gear selector module:
Provides illumination of the decal relevant to the gear sele cted. This information is provided by CAN from the TCM. Illuminates the security system Active LED on the gear selector surround, in response to an output from the BPM.
