TIPTRONIC TRANSMISSION

TIPTRONIC FIGURE

TIPTRONIC TRANSMISSION
A Tiptronic transmission is an automatic transmission
that can be controlled like a manual transmission. In a
standard automatic transmission, a computer selects
which gear the car should operate in, but a Tiptronic
transmission gives this control to the driver. The name
"Tiptronic" was created by Porsche, who made the
first such transmission, but it also can refer to similar
transmission systems from other manufacturers.
The gate has a + and - sign, the plus for
upshifting and the minus sign for downshifting.
Some models also offer the ability to shift with
buttons on the steering wheel.

A Tiptronic transmission is a sort of cross between an


automatic and a manual transmission. It uses a
paddle shifter, usually attached to the steering wheel,
but does not have a clutch. The driver can shift gears
as he reaches higher accelerations, but does not have
to worry about engaging and disengaging the engine,
which can be a frustrating skill to learn.
Tiptronics are also useful because they can be
activated or deactivated. If the driver wants to control
the gears, she can turn on the Tiptronic system.
However, if she just wants an automatic transmission,
she can turn it off.

OPERATION

Downshift by pulling the gear lever back to the minus sign if


you are using the shift lever or press the - button to
downshift. The gearbox will select the next lowest gear. Try to
downshift through the gears before you drive into a corner. If
you downshift in the middle of a turn, particularly if you are
driving fast or driving on a track, the composure of the
vehicle may become upset and cause a potentially
dangerous situation.
To reverse a car with a tiptronic gearbox, simply place the
gear lever in the automatic gate and in the reverse gear.
Also, tiptronic gearboxes will revert back to automatic mode
after a predetermined amount of time goes by when the
driver has not selected shifts.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
CONTROL SYSTEM
1. HYDRAULIC CONTROL SYSTEM
The hydraulic system makes fluid pressure that
transmits power through the torque converter. It
also senses vehicle speed and engine load,
directing fluid to reaction members at the correct
time to cause Shifts. Parts of the hydraulic system
include a pump, pressure regulator, manual valve,
vacuum modulator, governor, shift valves, servos,
pistons and control valve body. A transmission
technician will use a service manual chart of the
hydraulic system to solve transmission problems.

HYDRAULIC CONTROL
SYSTEM
Fluid Pump

a.
The transmission fluid pump, located just behind the torque
converter at the front of the transmission, is driven by lugs
on the outside of the snout of the torque converter.
The fluid pump does several things:
It creates the fluid flow and hydraulic pressure to apply to
the clutches and bands.
It provides lubrication to the parts in the transmission.
It fills the torque converter.
It circulates fluid throughout the transmission and to the
heat exchanger in the radiator in the front of the vehicle to
cool the transmission.
Its pressure operates valves in the hydraulic valve body.

HYDRAULIC CONTROL SYSTEM


Type Of Pumps
i. Rotor type
ii. Internal/external gear crescent type
iii. Vane type
The (ATF) is sent from the pump to the
pressure regulator before being distributed
by the valve body. Its called line pressure
(35 psi). In the converter fluid circuit, it is
pumped to the torque converter and cooler
before returning to the transmission.
