Automatic Transmission (AT)

The automatic transmission of Audi 80 copes electronically/hydraulically. Along with four transfers this transmission is supplied also with two programs of switching. The driver can choose, whether he wants to move, saving fuel (the Sport button is not pressed, AKP switches in the economic program an overgear as soon as possible), or he wants as it is possible to use more stoutly engine capacity (the Sport button is pressed, in the separate ranges of change of the transfer relation of AKP switches an overgear only on higher turns).

General principle of action

Kernel of AKP are so-called planetary ranks. They consist of a gear wheel round which three more gear wheels rotate. The ring gear wheel with internal gearing from above is put on all this. Similar knots are in pairs collected in one tooth gearing and form own small two-speed transmission. In similar transmissions the way of their switching is ingenious.

Change of transfer number happens only by retardation or an otpuskaniye of elements of planetary ranks. Thus there is a switching without interruption of effort. Retardation and an otpuskaniye is provided hydraulically with the operated multidisk couplings and multidisk brakes. To receive a multistage transmission, three planetary rows are one by one connected. So there is a four-speed transmission with a reverse gear. Coordination of a tooth gearing is provided by hydraulic management of a transmission.

Hydrotransformer

Section of the hydrotransformer distinctly shows blades of a pump wheel and the directing wheel. The arrow indicates a frictional overlay of coupling for connection of a pump wheel with the engine which – except for service conditions from cold ATF – since higher transfers switches to the rigid through drive for prevention of slipping.

Transfer of draft of the engine on a transmission happens by means of liquid. The engine sets in motion a pump wheel in the torque converter. The liquid of the transformer given to rotation can set in turn now in motion the turbine wheel connected with a transmission by means of the directing wheel located between both wheels.

Between the pump wheel and a turbine wheel rotating with a frequency of rotation of a shaft of the engine on a transmission entrance always there is a difference among turns. At start-off from a place this difference is the greatest, to increase in speed of frequency of rotation of a pump and turbine wheel are more and more compared. But the usual automatic transmission all the same has certain "slipping". In our transmission the torque converter in the third and fourth ranges of change of the transfer relation is blocked, i.e. between the engine and AKP there is a rigid connection. Thus fuel is saved.
