Automatic Transmission, How it works?

We thank our current patrons for saving LE from death. To achieve our goal of 2 video release/ month (addition of one more team member), please support us at Patreon.
/ learnengineering
The working of an automatic transmission is best understood with help of a 2D animation. This video demonstrates working of Allison 6 speed transmission in a step by step logical manner. Working of reverse gear is also explained here. A good introduction of planetary gear (epicyclic) set is also given at the introduction.

The saving grace is just the simplicity of gears, and things to stop gears. Very very efficient gearing design. Pain in the ass to quiet though: it helped tank the Soviet economy and led to the collapse of the Soviet Union.

    I would not be so bold as to say that it is "in fact" easier to learn one way or another, when addressing an entire population of individuals. Everyone has different preferences for the information they take in, and the senses they use most or best when processing that information. Each individual learns differently, where one may find a topic such as this easier to understand with a 2D rendering, another may be better at understanding when visually watching how each component interacts in the system in 3D, while some others may even learn best from simply listening and visualizing, with only minimal processing of the actual visual presentation. It is for this reason that it was wise for you to have posted both a 3D, and a 2D conceptualization, both including descriptive audio to accompany the animations. But that does not mean that your personal preference for learning such concepts is, as a matter-of-fact, the easiest for everyone. Just my two cents.

And the built-in feature of "freezing" the video makes it awesome when learning. Also being able to slow down the video makes it even easier. WOW! Yes, at first, it seems hard to grasp. But in time, one by one, you get a little more and a little more, etc. And it won't belong before one says, "Wow I see it now". Some get to this state sooner than others. But unless you are an absolute idiot (rare), you WILL get it. Promise. Thanks to ALL that took part in making this incredible video. For I NOW know how an automatic transmission works. And I didn't know before; even though I am 88 yrs old. It tickles me to death, LOL. WOW! Incidentally: I took "auto shop" in HS in the late '50's, and AT had JUST come out. All we learned was "planetary gears". But nothing else. Today I have "connected the dots". WOW! I feel like running down a road and eating the bark off trees! "Whoopee!" I could never thank you enough! May Jesus richly bless you and yours always.

    Manual transmission: Clutch disconnects shaft from motor, you apply desired gear, clutch reengages the shaft, car moves. Automatic transmission: Many clutches make many gears Turn or NOT turn thus producing different gear ratios, thus producing various torque and speed. Think of it as a mechanic numbers counter. You must turn the right most wheel (1) over one full time to next-right wheel (2) to turn to 1. Then next revolution of (1) puts (2) to 2, and so on and so on. Then the multiple clutches come in and my head is about to explode from not being able to completely wrap my head around this principle, and I am going to eat play doh in my pillow fort now untill I find the courage to try to understand this again in a couple of months.

The wheel rotation will reduce because the engine doesn't have enough torque to climb the hill in 5th, the computer will then engage / disengaged the proper clutches to go into 4th. You will feel it a little but since the torque converter uses fluids, it softens the hit of changing ratio quickly while applying power.

    Good visualization and easy to follow explanations, but you sort of skimmed past the torque converter. I happen to like torque converters so I thought I'd fill you in. A torque converter can convert rotational speed into torque; it's sort of like a hydraulic intermediate CVT without overdrive. In addition, most automatics nowadays have a lock-up feature which mechanically couples the input and output to mitigate the fuel efficiency issue. In those transmissions it effectively becomes a large flywheel when it isn't needed. You can tell the difference when driving a car with torque converter lock-up. At high speeds the fuel efficiency is significantly improved over a traditional torque converter and is comparable to a manual transmission. When starting from a standstill you still have the torque boost. The only remaining flaw is the rotating mass of the torque converter, but that's a relatively minor thing. It would be great if you could show how a torque converter works internally. In my opinion it's a seriously underrated engineering gem.

    @@Bszewski 3 words: hydraulic load detection Basically (from what little I even manage to understand) There's a hydraulic pump somewhere around the torque converter, and it builds pressure. I'm pretty sure that based on how fast the engine spins the converter it increases or decreases pressure. Lower pressure means lower speed (or a higher load) and so, it will close a spring loaded valve and stop pressure from flowing to the clutch packs that apply higher gears, in favor of applying a lower gear. And visa versa from high speed (lower load) That's part of the reason why many could call an automatic stupid. For example. Youre driving up a hill, and have to increase rpm to maintain your speed up said hill. It will shift up because rpm increased ( and so hydraulic pressure increased) and it opens the high pressure valves to got to higher gear. Making it harder to go up the hill... Of course when you slow rpm, decrease pressure and close high pressure valve. It will shift back down. But Yea. Short and sweet is rpm go up. Hydraulic pump pumps more pressure. Pressure opens spring loaded valve. Spring loaded valve sends pressure to corresponding clutch set, and you shift

    Wow. Jesus Christ me. That was wrong. Alright. There's a lot more parts than that. I'm very sorry. I just spent a month in an actual transmission college class, (that's why I was here was to try and study), and past me was forgetting more than just a few steps. The pump does supply pressure, however, it does not determine which clutches apply gears directly. In a hydraulically controlled transmission (old ones), a governor, ( spinny weighted valve) is attached to ( i think. I may have passed the class, but it's still difficult :v) the output shaft. The governor uses cintrifugal force to pull itself in and out of a valve shaft thing to direct the hydraulic pressure to a vacuum modulator. That part, from what I understand, smooths the shift by progressively sending pressure, and determes which shift valves to send pressure based on engine vacuum. High vacuum. High load. Lower gear. And visa versa. That pressure, based on all of that goes to shift valves. Shift valve is opened or closed by the modulator, there are several valves. A shift valve only operates 2 gears. So the modulator desides which shift valve, and the governor decides which of the 2. And now we have shifting. Maybe. I'm starting to confuse even myself right now :v. I know i have the parts right. Im still missing the kickdown and some others. But main control parts are here. Whether i have them in the right order, i don't know :v please do not take this comment as 100% fact. As i said, i passed all my tests and final, but i did that with a textbook right in front of me if i was in doubt :v I'm sure there are much better, more correct explanations out there. And if reader actually knows what they're talking a bout, please correct me lol

    In dual clutch gearbox you activate 2 gears simultaneously, but only one is coupled to output. There is nothing complicated - 2 shafts and when you shift up, gearbox deactivates clutch of shaft 1 and applies clutch of shaft 2... Both shafts goes to common output. As you see, you don't move mechanical parts in such shifting, only switch 2 clutches, this translates into very fast switching between gears. But! This applies only to sequential shifts, i.e. 1-2 or 2-3, not 1-3 or 2-4, because next gear was prepared when you shifted.

    Originally you would have a hydraulic pump spun off the fly wheel and always applying pressure with a second pump off the drive shaft and a valve controlled by the throttle to relieve pressure to determine when it shifts. Now the pump is integrated into the torque converter and there are several computer controlled valves. The exact implementation varies greatly by manufactuerer. I believe ZF, Ford, GM, and Mercedes hold a great deal of patents that make it very difficult to make a good control system for other companies, which is partially why most are moving to CVTs.

    1 planetary gear set is what Ford used in the Model T, and it was not used to its full advantage. It would use the gear set for low gear, and reverse. High gear was not a gear at all, it was a clutch that bypassed the gearset. To me, the most amazing thing is how sophisticated the GM 4 speed Hydramatic was. It came out in 1938, before all of the 2 speed automatic transmissions! It was so solid that it was used in some WW2 tanks. Amazing.
