Fluid Pump: Description and Operation

General

Hydraulic energy is required for controlling the automatic transmission.
This energy is produced by the oil pumps installed in the transmission in the form of a pressurized oil flow and pumped to the valve body
assembly.

The valve body assembly also receives the information supplied to the transmission from outside:

selector level position

mode selector switch

accelerator pedal position (control pressure)

engine torque
(via intake manifold vacuum)

kick-down

vehicle-speed

In line with the operating state, the oil flow is branched to the various points of demand in the transmission and the quantity and pressure level
adapted to requirements.
