Aim
Engage front multiple-disc clutch (K1), disengage front multiple-disc brake (B1).
Operation
1st Gear Engaged See Fig. 16.
The end face of the 1-2/4-5 command valve (31a) is kept depressurized via the 1-2 and 4-5 shift solenoid valve
(Y3/6y3). Via the 1-2/4-5 holding pressure shift valve (28a), working pressure (p-A) is applied to the front
mutiple-disc clutch (K1) is depressurized.
Shift Phase
See Fig. 17
Via the 1-2 and 4-5 shift solenoid valve (Y3/6y3), the shift valve pressure (p-SV) is directed onto the end face
of the command valve 1-2/4-5 (31a). The 1-2/4-5 command valve (31a) is displaced and the shift pressure (p-S)
coming from the 1-2/4-5 shift pressure shift valve (29a) via the 1-2/4-5 command valve (31a) is directed to the
front multiple-disc clutch (K1). At the same time the front multiple-disc brake (B1) is subjected to overlap
pressure from the 1-2/4-5 overlap regulating valve (30a).
The B1 pressure acting on the end face of the 1-2/4-5 shift pressure shift valve (29a) is superseded by the
working pressure (p-A). The increasing shift pressure (p-S) at the front multiple-disc clutch (K1) acts on the
annular area of the 1-2/4-5 overlap regulating valve (30a). With an appropriate pressure level at the 1-2/4-5
holding pressure shift valve (28a) this valve switches over.
2nd Gear Engaged
See Fig. 18.
After the gear change is complete, the pressure on the end face of the 12-/4-5 command valve (31a) is reduced
via the 1-2 and 4-5 shift solenoid valve (Y3/6y3) and the command value is pushed back into its original
position. Via the 1-2/4-5 holding pressure shift valve (28a) working pressure (p-A) now reaches the front
multiple-disc clutch (K1) via the 1-2/4-5 command valve (31a).
The front multiple-disc brake (B1) is disengaged (depressurized). The spring in the 1-2/4-5 shift pressure shift
valve (29a) pushes this into its original position.
