1.1.5 The feature of AT

Compare with the manual transmission, the automatic transmission has the following feature:
 Interruption free acceleration (uniform, rapid and smooth acceleration)
 It reduces driver fatigue by eliminating the necessity of clutch operation and constant shifting
of gears.
 It automatically and smoothly shifts gears at speeds appropriate to the driving conditions,
thus relieving to the driver of the need to master difficult and troublesome driving techniques
such as clutch operation.
 It prevents the engine and driveline from becoming overloaded, because it connects them
hydraulically (via the torque converter) rather than mechanically.

1.2.3 Understand the shifting range and discrapt its function

Ranges function
Park position prevents the vehicle from rolling either forward or backward. For safety
P
reasons, use the parking brake in addition to the Park position.
R Reverse allows the vehicle to be operated in a rearward direction.
Neutral allows the engine to be started and operated while driving the vehicle. If
N
necessary, you may select this position to restart the engine with the vehicle moving.
Drive position is used for all normal driving conditions. Overdrive provides four gear
D
ratios plus a converter clutch operation. Depress the accelerator to downshift for safe passing.
Manual 3rd position is used for city traffic and hilly terrain. Drive provides three gear
3 ranges and drive range prevents the transaxle from operating in 4th gear. Depress the
accelerator to downshift.
Manual 2nd provides two gear ratios under most operating conditions. Manual 2nd
2 provides acceleration and engine braking. Select this range at any vehicle speed, but the
transaxle will not downshift into 2nd gear until the vehicle speed drops below a certain level.
1 Manual Low provides maximum engine braking. You may also select this range at any

（2） The equivalent change of planetary gear set

To understand the gear ratio and relation of
each gear better, the dimension of planetary gear
set can be considered as fig shows.
Zc = Zr + Zs, α= Zr/ Zs

Here:

 Zc- number of carrier teeth

 Zr- number of ring gear teeth
 Zs- number of sun gear teeth
Equivalent change of planetary gear set
α- teeth ratio

（1） Analysising the movement

Different speeds and rotational directions can be obtained by holding one of the planetary members
in a fixed position, providing input torque to another member, with the third member used as an output
member.
It can be carrid out 8 kinds of combination and corresponding 5 kinds of movements with different
combination.
