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.

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.

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.
