Description
Description and Operation
Transmission Assembly
This electronically controlled five speed unit is unique to supercharged vehicles.
Introduction

Parts List
Transmission Fluid
It is not necessary to change the transmis sion fluid in normal service; routine level checking is not required. The sealed
dipstick tube is fitted for service requir ements only, with a dipstick being availa ble as a special tool and NOT fitted as
standard.
Components and Functions
Transmission Casing
The following components are housed within the casing;
ItemPart NumberDescription
1—Torque converter housing
2—Breather
3—Transmission casing
4—Drive flange (output shaft)
5—Fluid pan
6—Selector lever

Stator, intermediate and output shafts. Three epicyclic geartrains. Six multi-disc clutch/brake packs. Two freewheels (One-way clutches). Hydraulic pump. Parking lock assembly. Electro-hydraulic control unit. Internal harness and 13 pin connector with bayonet lock.
Hydraulic pump
This engine driven pump is located at the front of the transmission casing and provides pressure for the hydraulic
functions.
Supplies fluid under pressure to the torq ue converter, geartrain, electro-hydraulic control unit and the lubrication
circuit.
Draws fluid from the fluid pa n below the transmission casing, through a filter.
Parking lock
This component prevents movement of th e vehicle by engaging a fixed pawl with the parking lock gear located on the
output shaft. The pawl is engaged by movi ng the gear selector lever to the park (P) position.
Electro-hydraulic control unit
This unit, mounted in the transmission lower case, converts signals, mechanical from the J-gate and electrical from the
TCM, into hydraulic functions.
The following components ar e assembled to the unit:
Selector valve. Shift plate. Control valve - modulating pressure. Control valve - shift pressure. Solenoid valve 1 <-> 2 and 4 <-> 5 shift. Solenoid valve 3 <-> 4 shift. Solenoid valve 2 <-> 3 shift. Solenoid valve - converter lock-up. Speed sensors (2). Temperature sensor.
Speed sensors
There are two speed sensors within the transmission assembly which provide input to the TCM. These inputs, when used in
conjunction with CAN data relative to engine speed (from ECM) and road speed (from ABS), are used to electronically
control the transmission.
Temperature sensor
The output from this sensor allows the TCM to compensate for the affect of fluid temperature on shift time and quality
Control Systems
Hydraulic Control
The selector valve is operated directly by the J-gate and directs fluid flow for P R N D.
Of the four solenoid valves, 3 control shifts and 1 controls converter lock-up. One control valve controls modulating pressure
and the other shift pressure.
Regulating valves are used to maintain/control pressure for lu brication, normal operating functions, and the supply to the
control valves and shift valves.

Range Selection
The 'J' gate selector lever is connected to the transmission via a cable which operates the transmission selector shaft
between positions P R N D only. The shift lever disconnects from the cable when the lever is moved across the gate from D
to 4 .
Movement of the lever between P R N D manu ally controls the flow of transmission fluid, the TCM having control of the
forward gear selected in D .
Movement of the lever to 4 , 3 and 2 positions does not manu ally modify the fluid flow, the TCM detects these positions
using the DLS and controls the ratios electronically by energizing solenoids.
Shift Point Control
The gearshift points are controlled by the TCM, as a function of the output speed, engine load, engine speed, selector
position and shift program selected. The operator has control over the shift points via the shift lever, throttle pedal
movement, kickdown function and mode switch.
Mode Switch
This switch allows operator selection of two base shift modes; Normal and Sport; th e switch being illuminated when Sport is
selected. This function alters the values in the TCM shift point calculations.
Shift Programs
Upon encountering the following conditions, the TCM will auto matically modify the Normal or Sports shift map to enhance
the operation of the vehicle:
1. 1. Traction: When traction intervention is active.
2. 2. Hot mode: Extreme engine/transmission temperatures.
3. 3. Gradient: Under specific speeds and loads.
4. 4. Manual: Driver initiated override of the normal shif t map when the LH side of the 'J gate' is used.
Traction
When traction or stability control (engine or brake system de rived) is operational the TCM will implement the traction map
to maximize control of wheel slip.
Gradient
The gradient function is intended to enhance vehicle drivea bility when climbing a gradient or towing. The TCM will
implement the function when increased driving resistance is de tected, and provides enhanced driveability, additional cooling

ARE OBSERVED AND THAT THE RECEPTACLE FOR WASTE
HAS SUFFICIENT CAPACITY.
Carefully remove the drain pl ug and discard the sealing
washer.

4. Refit the drain plug and tighten to the specified torque figure.
Use a new sealing washer.

2. Push the locking pin downward, into the plug.
3. Remove the dipstick tube plug.
Push the locking pin through the tube plug and discard the
pin.

7. CAUTION: It is essential that only the specified fluid is
used.
Pour approximately 4,0 liters of fluid into the transmission.

8. Select P and start the engine.
9. Pour approximately 3,0 liters of fluid into the transmission.

10. Cycle the gear selector:
From P to D.
From D to R.
From R to P.

11. NOTE: Temperature will ONLY be displayed in D or R.
Check the transmission fluid temperature to select the
appropriate dipstick calibration. 1. MAX and MIN marks at 25°C fluid temperature.
2. MAX and MIN marks at 80°C fluid temperature.

12. Check the transmission fluid level.
Insert the dipstick (special tool 307 - 379) until it stops
(tip contact with the fluid pan).
Remove the dipstick an d check the level.
• NOTE: Only use a lint free cloth to wipe the dipstick.
Repeat this operation.
13. Correct the fluid leve l as required, noting that excess fluid
MUST be removed.
14. STOP the engine and remove the dipstick.
15. Seal the dipstick tube.
1. Seat the tube plug.
2. Engage and fully seat the new locking pin.
