Control device for direct clutch in automatic transmission

摘要

A control for a clutch interconnecting the pump and turbine impellers in an automatic torque converter transmission for a vehicle having an auxiliary multistage gear train connected to the output side of the torque converter and a plurality of valve actuated hydraulic friction clutches for selectively actuating the gears of the gear train at a plurality of speeds including a high speed, a low speed and an intermediate speed just below the high speed and a throttle for controlling the speed of the engine connected to the input side of the torque converter, the interconnecting clutch control including a speed sensor, a speed detector, a throttle detector and an amplifier, the amplifier and friction clutch valves being connected to the interconnecting clutch control to selectively engage and disengage the clutch interconnecting the pump and turbine impellers in response to the actuation of the gears of the gear train, the sensed and detected speed of the vehicle and the detected throttle position.
