SsangYong Musso. Manual - part 467

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION  5A-45

BANDS

The transmission utilises two bands, the B1 band (sometimes known as the 24 band), and the B2 band (sometimes
known as the low-reverse band). Refer to figure 4.4.

The B1 band is a flexible band which is engaged by the front servo piston. B1 is activated in second and fourth gear.
When activated B1 prevents the reverse sun gear from rotating by holding the C3 clutch assembly stationary. In
second gear only the outer area of the apply piston is utilised. In fourth gear both areas are utilised for greater
clamping force.

The B2 band is a solid band which is engaged by the rear servo piston. B2 is activated in Park,

Reverse, Neutral and Manual 1. When activated B2 prevents the planet carrier assembly from rotating. In Manual 1
only the inner area of the apply piston is utilised. In Park, Reverse and Neutral, both areas are utilised for greater
clamping force.

Figure 4.4- Bands

ONE WAY CLUTCHES

The transmission uses two OWCs, the 1-2 OWC and the 34 OWC. (Note that a third OWC is located in the torque
converter, also known as a sprag.)

The 1-2 OWC is located between the planetary carrier assembly and the centre support. This allows the carrier to
rotate around the centre support in one direction only. The one way clutch is engaged only in Drive 1.

The 3-4 OWC is located between the C4 and the C2 clutch assemblies. This allows the C2 clutch to drive the forward
sun gear in first, second and third gears but unlocks in fourth gear and during overrun.

PLANETARY GEAR SET

The planetary gear set used in the transmission is a conventional six pinion Ravigneaux compound gear set.

PARKING MECHANISM

When Park is selected the manual lever extends the park rod rearwards to engage the parking pawl (refer to (figure
4.5). The pawl will engage the external teeth on the ring gear thus locking the output shaft to the transmission case.
When Park is not selected a return spring holds the parking pawl clear of the output shaft, preventing accidental
engagement of Park.

ELEMENTS ENGAGED

Figure 5.1 - Engaged Elements vs Gear Selected

Planetary Gear Set

5A-48  AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

POWER FLOW - PARK AND NEUTRAL

In Park and Neutral, there is no drive to the planetary gear set. The rear band is applied to eliminate ‘clunk’ on
engagement of the reverse gear, and to improve the low range engagement for 4WD applications. No other clutches
or bands are applied.

In Park the transmission is mechanically locked by engaging a case mounted pawl with teeth on the output shaft ring
gear.

Control

To maintain this arrangement in the steady state solenoids and valves are activated as follows:

!

Solenoids S1 and S2 are switched off.

!

Line (pump) pressure is applied to the primary regulator valve (PRV) and to the solenoid supply valve.

!

The converter, oil cooler, and lubrication circuits are charged from the primary regulator valve.

!

The line 500 circuit is charged by the solenoid supply valve.

!

The S5 circuit is charged by the variable pressure solenoid (S5).

!

Line pressure is prevented from entering the drive circuit by the manual valve.

!

The B1 circuit and all clutch circuits are open to exhaust.

Refer to figure 5.1 and table 5.2.
