DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION DESCRIPTION
The automatic transmission is specially tailored version of the ZF4 HP22, used by many manufacturer's of high
performance vehicles.
A three element torque converter delivers the power to a four speed epicyclic transmission. First, second and third
gears are reduction ratios but fourth is an overdrive gear for high speed cruising. A direct drive clutch, integral with
the torque converter operates to engage fourth gear.
The gear selector has seven positions as follows:
P = Park provides a mechanical lock on the output shaft.
R = Reverse gear.
N = Neutral.
D = Provides a 1st gear start and automatic shifts 1-2-3-4-3-2-1.
3 = Provides a 1st gear start and automatic shifts 1-2-3-2-1.
2 = Provides a 1st gear start and automatic shifts 1-2-1 or 3-2-1.
1 = Provides a 1st gear start with no up shifts, or 3-2-1.
All automatic shifts are automatically controlled by the valve block and an hydraulic governor driven by the output
shaft.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Power flow
1st gear D selected
With D selected 1st gear engaged, clutches 4 and 11 are operative. The front planet gear carrier of gear set 9 is
locked against the housing through freewheel 15 when the engine is pulling but freewheels when the vehicle is
coasting. Epicyclic gear set 10 rotates as a solid unit with the front planet gear carrier. In selector position 1 with
1st gear engaged, clutch 8 operates to prevent the loss of drive on the overrun through freewheel 15, to provide
engine braking.
2nd gear D selected
Clutches 4, 6, 7 and 11 are engaged. Freewheel 15 overruns, the hollow shaft with the sun wheel of epicyclic gear
set 9 is locked. Epicyclic gear set 10 also rotates as a solid unit.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 3rd gear D selected
Clutches 4, 5, 7 and 11 are engaged. Freewheel 15 and 16 are overrun. Epicyclic gear set 9 and 10 rotate as a
solid unit at a ratio of 1:1.
4th gear D selected
Clutches 4, 5, 7 and 12 are engaged. Freewheel 14, 15 and 16 are overrun. Epicyclic gear set 9 rotates as a solid
unit. The hollow shaft with the sun wheel of epicyclic gear set 10 is locked.
Above a predetermined road speed, clutch 2 locks the gearbox power input direct to the engine, by-passing the
torque converter.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Reverse gear
Clutches 5, 8 and 11 are engaged. Since the front planet gear carrier of epicyclic gear set 9 is locked, the direction
of output-shaft rotation is reversed. Epicyclic gear set 10 also rotates as a solid block.

FAULT DIAGNOSIS ROAD TEST PROCEDURE
Follow the procedure given commencing each test,
from a standing start, on a level road, in good weather
conditions.
ROADTEST 1 = CHECKS 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8
D SELECTED KICKDOWN START FROM REST
CHECK 1
Check for clutch squeal and slip. Check pressure is
150lbf/in
2
CHECK 2
Check 1st to 2nd upshift speed and quality. Pressure
should fall to 120 lbf/in
2.
CHECK 3
Check 2nd-3rd upshift speed and quality. Pressure
should fall to 100 lbf/in
2
CHECK 4
Release throttle to allow simultaneous engagement
4th + DDC. Check shift quality and engine rpm drop of
approximately 500 rpm.
CHECK 5
To proceed to Check 5 release throttle and check
drop out speed of direct drive clutch to 4th.
CHECK 6
Check down shift speed and quality 4th to 3rd.
NOTE: This shift is usually very smooth
and difficult to detect.
CHECK 7
Check downshift speed and quality 3rd to 2nd.
CHECK 8
Check downshift speed and quality 2nd to 1st. Also
difficult to detect.
END OF ROADTEST 1ROADTEST 2 CHECKS = 9-10-11
D SELECTED FROM REST

CHECK 9
Check 1st-2nd upshift speed and quality.
CHECK 10
Check 2nd 3rd upshift speed and quality.
CHECK 11
Check 3rd 4th and direct drive clutch upshift speed
and quality.
NOTE: 4th and the direct drive clutch
engage simultaneously.

D SELECTED FROM REST
LIGHT THROTTLE START
CHECK 12
Check 1st 2nd upshift speed and quality.
CHECK 13
Check 2nd 3rd upshift speed and quality.
CHECK 14
Check 3rd 4th upshift speed and quality.
NOTE: This shift is usually very difficult to
detect but can be confirmed by a 200 rpm
drop in engine speed.
CHECK 15
Check speed and quality of shift into direct drive
clutch, confirmed by 300 rpm drop in engine speed.
NOTE: An intermediate throttle position
engagement of 4th and the direct drive
clutch, which is indicated by a fall of
500rpm in engine speed.
CHECK 16
At approximately 88 kph (55 mph) depress throttle to
kickdown - gearbox should change down to 2nd -
release throttle to re-engage 4th direct drive clutch
continue to accelerate gently.
CHECK 17
At approximately 128 kph (80 mph) depress throttle to
kickdown - gearbox should change down to 3rd -
release throttle to re-engage 4th direct drive clutch
and continue to accelerate gently.CHECK 18
At approximately 138 kph (85 mph) select 3rd,
gearbox should change immediately down to 3rd.
Release throttle.
CHECK 19
De-accelerate to approximately 47 kph (30 mph)
depress throttle to kickdown - geabox should
downshift to 1st gear, continue accelerating at full
throttle until 3rd gear is attained. To do this you will
have repeated check 2 of Test 1.
CHECK 20
At 128 kph (80 mph) select 2nd no downshift should
occur. Release throttle.
CHECK 21
At 104 kph (65 mph) an automatic downshift into 2nd
gear should occur. Continue to de-accelerate.
CHECK 22
At 88 kph (55 mph) select 1st. No downshift should
occur. Continue to de-accelerate.
CHECK 23
With 1 selected 2nd gear engaged continue to
de-accelerate and at 45 kph (28 mph) the box should
automatically downshift to 1st gear after which no
upshifts will occur in this selector position.
