2) Transaxle Cooling

The transaxle cooling system ensures rapid warm-up and constant operating temperature resulting in

reduced fuel consumption and refined shift quality.

It also includes a cooler by-pass within the hydraulic system to allow sufficient lubrication to the transaxle

drivetrain in the event of a blockage in the transaxle cooler.

Transaxle gear change is controlled by the

TCU. The TCU receives inputs from various

engine and vehicle sensors to select shift

schedules and to control the shift feel and

torque converter clutch (TCC) operation at each

gear change.

Coast down down shifts occur at 0% pedal

when the vehicle is coasting down to a stop.

Torque Demand

Torque demand down shifts occur

(automatically) when the driver demand for

torque is greater than the engine can provide at

that gear ratio. If applied, the transaxle will

disengage the TCC to provide added

acceleration.
