Motor vehicle clutch for a mechanical, multiple-speed automatic transmission

摘要

A motor vehicle clutch is particularly suited for a mechanical multiple-speed automatic transmission. The clutch comprises a pair of alternatingly engageable clutch discs (5,7) mounted on a pair of concentric shafts (8,10). In addition to a centrifugal arrangement (29,30) for engagement when starting, the clutch comprises a hydraulic control system with a piston cylinder device (20) and two three-way magnetic valves (51,52), one (51) of which is capable of presure regulation and the other (52) has merely an on-off function.
