General Information

Automatic transmission 01V, general

Detailed information about functioning of this transmission can be found in the self-study program number 180.

Torque converter
The torque converter is equipped with a lock-up clutch. The closing (application) of the lock-up clutch is determined by the engine load and speed, and produces very little vibration. The lock-up clutch drives 3rd, 4th and 5th gears mechanically, independent of slip.

Transmission
The 5-speed automatic transmission 01V has five hydraulically activated forward gears. When the lock-up clutch is applied these forward gears become mechanically driven gears by eliminating the torque converter slip.

Hydraulic control
A differentiation is made between two types of transmissions. Transmission with hydraulic control E17, on which, the sensor for transmission RPM (inductive sensor) is secured to the underside of the valve body. Transmission with hydraulic control E18/2, on which the sensor for transmission RPM (hall sensor is secured behind the valve body on transmission housing.
