Brief general description


The ZF 5 HP 19 automatic transmission was developed for cars with a power output of
110 kW to 150 kW.
It is positioned longitudinally in relation to the vehicles forward travel direction, to match the engines
installed position . The mechanical elements use the planetary gear principle, with an electronichydraulic control unit; the hydraulic control unit is attached to the transmission, the electronic control
unit (German abbreviation: EGS) to the vehicle.

Description of individual components


The hydrodynamic torque converter
1. Converter operating principle
The converter consists of the impeller, the turbine wheel, the reaction member (stator) and the oil
(Automatic Transmission fluid or ATF) necessary for transmitting the torque.
The impeller, which is driven by the engine, causes the oil in the converter to flow in a circular
pattern. This oil flow strikes the turbine wheel, where its direction of flow is deflected.
In the hub area, the oil leaves the turbine and enters the reaction member (stator), where it is again
deflected before reaching the impeller with the correct input flow direction.
The reversal effect generates a torque at the stator, the reaction to which is used to amplify the
turbine torque.
The relation between turbine torque and pump torque is referred to as torque multiplication.
The greater the difference in speed between the pump and the turbine, the greater the torque multiplication; it is at its highest when the turbine is at a standstill. The higher the speed of the turbine, the lower the torque multiplication.
When turbine speed reaches about 85 % of pump speed, torque multiplication = 1, that is to say
turbine torque is equivalent to pump torque.
The stator, which bears against the housing via the freewheel, then rotates freely in the oil flow
and the freewheel is overrun. From this point onwards, the converter acts as a straightforward
fluid coupling. The stator is at a standstill during the conversion process, conversion, and bears
against the housing via the freewheel.

2. Torque converter lock-up clutch


The torque converter lock-up clutch is a device which eliminates converter slip and thus helps to
improve fuel consumption.
The previous control principle for converter lock-up clutch operation has been replaced on the 5
HP 19by a controlled-slip function . The converter lock-up clutch is engaged and released in a
regulated manner. During the controlled-slip phase, a slight speed difference between the impeller
and turbine is permitted. This ensures that torsional vibration from the engine is not passed on to
the transmission, thus enhancing shift quality and acoustic performance.
Lock-up clutch piston pressure is controlled by an electronic pressure control valve (EDS4) (see
oil flow diagram).

3. Hydraulic and mechanical power flow in


the converter:
When open (in the torque conversion
range), the oil pressures behind the converter lock-up clutch piston and in the turbine
zone are equal. The direction of flow is
through the turbine shaft and the space
behind the piston, to the turbine chamber.

Lock-up clutch/open
n/engine > n/turbine

To engage the lock-up clutch, the direction


of flow is modified (reversed) by means of
a valve in the hydraulic selector unit. At the
same time, the space behind the lock-up
clutch piston is vented. Oil pressure passes
from the turbine chamber to the lock-up
clutch piston and presses it against the converter cover (outer shell). The turbine is
then locked by the lined plate between the
piston and cover, and permits rigid throughdrive to the planetary gear train with no
slip (or reduced slip if regulated).

n/engine = n/turbine

Oil pump
The oil pump is a crescent-type pump with a delivery rate of about 24 cm3 per revolution; it is located
between the torque converter and the transmission housing.
The converter is located in the pump by a plain bearing. The pump is driven directly from the engine
via the converter shell, and supplies the transmission and selector unit with oil.
The pump draws in oil through a filter and pumps pressurized oil through the flow regulating valve,
which at higher operating speeds returns any excess pressurized oil directly to the pumps intake side.
The pressurized oil is pumped from the flow regulating valve through the main pressure valve in the
hydraulic selector unit, where the oil pressure is modified and the surplus oil returned to the sump.

Shift elements
In addition to the converter lock-up clutch, the shift elements include a sprag-type freewheel:
freewheel for 1st gear, for shifting from 1 to 2 and 2 to 1, beneath brake D
four rotating multi-plate clutches A, B, E and F
three fixed multi-disc brakes C, D and G
Shifting from 1 to 2 and 2 to 1 is supported by the sprag-type freewheel, so that there is no overlapping of the two clutches or brakes.
Overlap occurs when shifting from 2-3, 3-4, 4-5 and 5-4, 4-3, 3-2. In other words, during the shift one
clutch must remain capable of transmitting the drive at a reduced main pressure until the corresponding clutch can accept the incoming torque.
The shift elements, clutches or brakes are engaged hydraulically. The pressurized oil reaches the space
between the cylinder and piston, as a result of which the plates are compressed. When the oil pressure
drops, the diaphragm spring acting on the piston presses the piston back to its initial position.
The shift elements are designed to permit gearshifts under load without interrupting the tractive force.
Muli-plate clutches A, B, E and F supply engine power to the planetary gear train, with multi-disc brakes C, D and G reacting to the torque at the housing.

Example of a multi-plate clutch (clutch E)


The dynamic pressure at clutch E is equal i.e. the clutch piston is pressurized with oil from both sides
in order to prevent speed-dependent pressure build-up in the clutch. This equalizing effect is achieved
via tha baffle plate (7) and the pressureless oil supply via the lubrication channel (1), which fills the
space between the piston and baffle plate with oil.
The advantages of this dynamic pressure equalization are:
reliable opening and engaging of the clutch in all speed ranges
smoother shifts

Example of a freewheel
Sprag-type freewheel
Purpose and operating principle of the freewheel:
The freewheel transfers torque in one direction only, and rotates freely in the other. Its purpose is to
simplify the shift operation in technical terms without interrupting the flow of the tractive force, and
to achieve consistent shift quality.

Direction of rotation:
The sprag blocks are located in the space between the inner and outer ring in such a way
that these can turn in relation to one another.

Locking direction:
The sprag blocks between the inner and outer
rings are asymmetrically shaped, and are raised upright when the rings turn in opposite
directions. They consequently become lodged
between the inner and outer rings, preventing
any relative movement of these two components. The sprag blocks are located in a special cage.

Overlap control
In the case of the overlap shift procedures 2-3, 3-4, 4-5 and 5-4, 4-3, 3-2, the place of the freewheel is
taken by suitable control of the clutches. The appropriate clutches are energized by electronic-hydraulic means. This saves both space and weight.
The electronic-hydraulic circuit is formed by various valves within the hydraulic selector unit, which
are energized by means of pressure regulators.
These elements cause the appropriate clutches or brakes to cut in or out at the right moment.
The electronic control unit is located away from the transmission, at a separate point
(see electronic control unit).

Position / function
P = Park, must only be engaged if the vehicle is at a standstill. Procedure: first apply handbrake,
then engage position P.
R = Reverse, must only be engaged if the vehicle is at a standstill and the engine idling.
N = Neutral, when the vehicle is at a standstill, apply the handbrake first to prevent the vehicle
from rolling away. When the vehicle is moving, only select Neutral in order to counteract
skidding.
D = Drive, automatic-shift position for normal driving. Automatic gearshifts from 1st to 5th and
5th to 1st and all intermediate gears.
The 5th, 4th, 3rd, 2nd and 1st gears are shifted up by moving the lever in the direction of the
plus (+) symbol or down by moving the lever in the direction of the minus (-) symbol in the
manual program (one-touch mode). The currently selected gear is retained (see M program).
4th gear: Select this position if the transmission tends to hunt between 5th-4th/4th-5th in
certain driving conditions (only possible in Steptronic mode).
3rd gear: Select this position if the transmission tends to hunt between 3rd and 5th in certain driving conditions. Also recommended for lengthy descents (only available in
Steptronic mode).
2nd gear: Select this position when driving over mountain passes with lengthy ascents and
descents (only available in Steptronic mode).
Advantages:

1. Gang:

- more effective use of engines power


- engine braking utilized
- unnecessary up- and down-shifts avoided.

Selecting 1st gear always has a braking effect


(only in the M mode).

Description of individual gears


Power flow in 1st gear

In 1st gear, the power is introduced from the torque converter purely hydraulically to the front planetary gear train . The connection between the converter turbine and the sunwheel (2) in the planetary
gear set is established by a rotating multi-plate clutch, clutch A. The freewheel beneath the multi-disc
brake D locks the planetary gear sets spider when rotating to the left. Sunwheel 2 drives the planetary
gears that are meshed with planetary gears I. These in turn drive the ring gear which is connected to
the ring gear support and the ring gear (interior disc support brake G) of the in-series planetary gear
set by a spider shaft.
The multi-disc brake G blocks the sunwheel of the rear-mounted planetary gear set via the cylinder of
the multi-plate clutch F. This causes the spider to be driven.
The spider is connected with the output shaft.
Spider speed = output speed
In 1st gear, with braking effect when coasting, the multi-disc brake D is also engaged, i.e. the spider
of the front planetary gear set is blocked.

Power flow in 2nd gear

In the same way as for the 1st gear, the sunwheel 2 of the front planetary gear set is driven via the turbine shaft and clutch A.
The sunwheel 1 is locked by the multi-disc brake C.
Planetary gears 2 drive planetary gears 1, which roll around the stationary sunwheel 1.
Output is as for 1st gear via the ring gear of the front and the in-series planetary gear set, the spider
and simultaneously the output shaft.

Power flow in 3rd gear

The sunwheel 2 is once again, as for gears 1 and 2, driven via the converter turbine shaft and clutch
A. Multi-disc brake C blocks the sunwheel 1. The planet carriers 2 drive the planetary gears 1 which
roll around the stationary sunwheel 1. Output is then accomplished, as in gears 1 and 2, via the ring
gear of the front and the in-series planetary gear set. The planetary gears are driven via the ring gear
through the engaged multi-plate clutch F. Unlike in 1st and 2nd gears, through-drive in the rear-mounted planetary gear set is thus achieved.

Power flow in 4th gear

Power is transmitted via the turbine shaft with the multi-plate clutches A and E engaged.
Multi-plate clutch A drives the sunwheel 2 and multi-plate clutch E the spider of the front planetary
gear set at engine speed.
The ring gear is driven to the right (in the direction of engine rotation) as a result of the inertial thrust
of the vehicle mass thrust, thereby locking the planetary gears (through-drive at the front planetary
gear set). Consequently, the ring gear of the rear-mounted planetary gear set is driven at engine speed.
The planetary gear of the rear-mounted planetary gear set is driven by the engaged multi-plate clutch
F via the ring gear and the sun wheel. In this way, through-drive is achieved in the rear planetary gear
set as well.

Power flow in 5th gear

Power transmission is via the converters turbine shaft and the engaged multi-plate clutch E. The inner
plate carrier of the clutch E meshes with the planetary spider.
The sun wheel 1 is locked via the body of multi-disc brake C.
The planetary gears 1 then roll around the sunwheel 1 and thereby drive the ring gear of the rearmounted planetary gear set which is in the through-drive setting as in 3rd and 4th gear.

Power flow in reverse gear

Power transmission is via the turbine shaft and cylinder A (which is also the inner plate carrier of
clutch B) to the engaged multi-plate clutch B.
The engaged multi-plate clutch B transmits the power to the sunwheel 1 via the body.
Multi-plate clutch D is engaged and locks the planetary spider.
The planetary gears 1 thus cause the sunwheel 1 and the ring gear, which is connected via the spider
shaft to the ring gear carrier and the ring gear of the in-series planetary gear set (inner disc carrier,
brake G) , to reverse direction.

Brief description of valves


Clutch valves (KV-A, KV-C, KV-E, KV-G)
The clutch valves are variable pressure-reducing valves. They are controlled via the corresponding
pressure control valve (EDS) and determine clutch pressure during shifting.

Traction valve (shifting from 5 -> 4 / ZV 5 - 4)


Traction valve 5 -> 4 works as a clutch valve and fills clutch A initially when shifting from
5 -> 4.

Main pressure valve (system pressure / HD-V)


The main pressure valve is a variable pressure-limiting valve which controls the oil pressure generated
by the pump. Surplus oil flows back into the oil pan.

Retaining valve (for clutches C, G / HV-C, HV-G)


The retaining valves actuate the clutch valves, i.e.: the regulating function (regulating phase) of the
clutch valve during the gearshift is terminated by the main valve at the appropriate moment, as a
result of which clutch pressure rises to the same value as system pressure. Both valves (clutch and
retaining valves) are controlled by the corresponding pressure regulator (EDS).

Selector valve
The driver of the vehicle selects the direction of travel (forward or reverse), the park position and the
neutral position via the selector valve.

Traction/coasting valve (ZS-V)


The traction/coasting valve is supplied with oil from the pressure reduction valve and switches off the
regulating function of the traction valve 5 -> 4 if required.

Control valve for converter pressure (SV-WD)


The regulating function of the converter pressure valve is switched off by the control valve and the
space behind the converter clutch is therefore vented.

Shift valves 1, 2, 3 (SV 1, 2, 3)


The shift valves are actuated by the solenoid valves and direct the system pressure to the corresponding clutch regulating circuits.

Reverse-gear valve (RG-V)


The reverse-gear valve has two functions:
1. Shift valve for reverse gear, and
2. Safety valve for the forward gears, to prevent inadvertent selection of
reverse.
It is actuated by the pressure at clutch A.

Pressure-reducing valve (DRV-1)


Pressure-reducing valve 1 lowers the system pressure at which the rear-mounted solenoid valves are
energized to approx. 5 bar. The solenoid valves require a constant input pressure in order to function.

Brief description of valves


Valve for lubricating pressure (Schm-V)
The lubricating valve reduces the system pressure and guarantees the necessary lubrication pressure.
Maximum pressure is also limited.
Converter clutch valve (WK-V)
The converter clutch valve is controlled by the electronic pressure control (EDS4) together with the
converter control valve (SV-W). In this function, thedirection of oil flow is reversed. The space in
front of the converter lock-up clutch is pressurized at system pressure and the control valve vents the
piston space behind the converter lock-up clutch.
Converter pressure control valve (WD-V)
The converter pressure valve reduces the system pressure and simultaneously maintains the required
pressure for the converter. Maximum converter pressure is limited to prevent the converter from being
distorted by excess pressure. When SV-WD is energized, the oil channel behind the lock-up clutch
piston is vented.
Valve for traction shifting 4 -> 5 (ZV 4-5)
The traction valve 4 -> 5 works as a clutch valve and serves to vent clutch C initially when a
4 -> 5 shift takes place.
Modulation pressure valve (Mod-V)
The modulation valve, which is energized by the electronic pressure control unit (EDS1), generates
the modulation pressure. The modulation pressure reaches the main pressure valve and thus has an
additional regulating effect on the main pressure. Modulation pressure is proportional to engine torque.
Pressure-reducing valve II (DRV II)
Pressure-reducing valve II reduces system pressure to approx. 5 bar, which is applied to the downstream pressure contrrol systems (EDS 1, 2, 3, 4) . Pressure control requires constant input pressure if it
is to function correctly.

(digital)

These data include, for example:


Shift characteristics for gears and the converter lock-up clutch
Coordinating parameters for ressure calculation, engine manipulation and
time stages
Regulator parameters for regulating gear shifts and converter lock-up
clutch
Diagnosis parameters
The control program calculates the correct gear and lock-up clutch status, and also the optimum pressure patterns for gear shifting and operation of the converter lock-up clutch, from the input signals
and the stored data.
EGS energizes the solenoid valves and pressure regulators via special output modules (output stages,
current regulating circuits) and thus influences the automatic transmissions hydraulics.
The engine management system is also informed of the degree and duration of engine intervention via
the CAN bus.
On vehicles which are not equipped with CAN, the corresponding signals are transmitted via discrete
interfaces (BMWs are equipped with CAN in all cases).

Automatic transmission oil filling


(Overflow screw)

General requirements before checking or correcting the oil level:


The vehicle has to be positioned horizontally on the hoist.
The driven wheels or the transmission output have to be at a standstill for at least
two minutes before the oil level is checked.
Selection lever in position P. Engage handbrake.
The EGS must not be in the emergency program.
Energy-consuming devices such as air conditioning must be turned off.
When opening the ATF filling screw, the transmission sump temperature has to be
30 C.
The transmission oil temperature check must be made with the correct testing
device.

Checking the oil level:


Start the engine and select various gears. Engage R and D, shift up to the 3rd gear
step by step (gears remain engaged for 3 seconds each), engage position P.
Idle speed 650950 rpm (according to car manufacturers specification).
Open the screw at the overflow hole.
Add ATF at approx. 30 C until it overflows.
Transmission temperature increases during idle, oil expands and escapes.
Close overflow hole when 40 C (+ 10 C) are reached.
Settling time between opening and closing the oil filling cap at least 60 seconds.
Starting temperature 30 C.

Important!

Oil level checking at regular operating temperature is not possible.


Checking or adjustment of the oil level is only necessary after repair work on the
transmission, the cooling system or the pipes.
The transmissions are filled to the overflow point with lifetime oil (ESSO LT 71
141) at an oil temperature of 40 C before leaving the factory.
If the filling screw is opened at operating temperature (80), not enough oil will
remain in the transmission due to overflow and it will consequently fail.
If the overflow hole is closed after adjustment at below 37 C, the transmission
will be too full.
The temperature range (opening at 30 C, closing at 40 C) should be complied
with as closely as possible.
Oil level adjustment in the emergency program is prohibited.
