Hydraulic servo-mechanism for an automatic transmission

摘要

A hydraulic servo-mechanism for an automatic transmission, including a hydraulic servo for applying a band brake to engage a band to a drum. The hydraulic servo includes a rod which is selectively positionable to an apply position for applying the band brake, a standby position in which the rod is retracted by a predetermined extent in a release direction from the apply position, and a retracted position in which the rod is further retracted in the release direction from the standby position to release the band brake.
