A transmission control device may be provided that includes: a magnet; a magnetic sensor which measures a magnetic field which is changed according to a relative position with respect to the magnet; a housing in which the magnetic sensor is disposed; a shift lever which includes a lever body and a knob which is disposed on one end of the lever body and receives a shift level from a user; and a linkage which, together with the lever body, forms a first joint structure on one end and which, together with the housing, forms a second joint structure on the other end on which the magnet is disposed.

A method for operating a hydraulic system for an automatic transmission includes determining a defined primary pressure value (p_PE) to be adjusted based on a measurement of an input current (I_22) of an electric motor and also includes adjusting a secondary flow rate (Q_SZ) to be adjusted based on calculation and adjustment of a target speed (n_Z) of the electric motor.

Provided is an automatic transmission with which a large impact is hardly applied to the component of the switching mechanism or the switching control circuit when the drive source is re-driven. When a drive source ENG is determined to be in the stopped state, if the position of a slider HC1 does not correspond to the position the control part ECU instructed before the drive source ENG is determined to be in the stopped state, the control part ECU of the automatic transmission TM transmits a signal for switching a two-way clutch TW to a state corresponding to the state of a slider HC1.

A vehicle propulsion system includes an engine including a crankshaft and adapted to generate torque, a crankshaft sensor that outputs a signal that is indicative of a rotary position of the crankshaft, a transmission with a clutch that is connected to the engine to receive the torque from the engine, a drive member connected to the transmission to receive torque from the transmission, and a controller that commands operation of the clutch based upon the signal from the crankshaft sensor for controlling engine compression pulse disturbances as the engine speed changes from an elevated rpm to low or zero rpm as well as low or zero rpm to an elevated rpm.

In a hydraulic control device and a hydraulic control method of a transmission, in a case that an oil supplying section is supplying a first oil to a continuously variable transmission mechanism, a TCU outputs, to an LC control valve of the oil supplying section, a control signal for giving a command to start supply of a second oil to a torque converter if a pulley pressure detected by a pressure sensor reaches a pressure threshold value.

A system according to the principles of the present disclosure includes a fuel control module, a transmission control module, and a starter control module. The fuel control module selectively stops fuel delivery to cylinders of an engine while the engine is coupled to a transmission of a vehicle when an accelerator pedal is not depressed. The transmission control module selectively decouples the engine from the transmission while fuel delivery to the cylinders is stopped. The fuel control module selectively allows the engine to stop while the vehicle is moving by not resuming fuel delivery to the cylinders when the engine is decoupled from the engine. The starter control module controls a starter to automatically restart the engine when the accelerator pedal is depressed after fuel delivery to the cylinders is stopped and the engine is decoupled from the engine.

A hydraulic circuit device for a vehicle, includes a clutch, a flow path, a fluid pump, a pressure generating device, and a control valve. The control valve is configured to determine whether a transmission start-stop function activation condition other than a vehicle speed is satisfied, determine whether a system start-stop function activation condition related to a component of the vehicle is satisfied, the component being other than the transmission, determine whether the vehicle speed is equal to or lower than a first speed threshold, and boost a line pressure of the flow path to accumulate pressure in the pressure generating device for preparing activation of the start-stop function if it is determined that the transmission start-stop function activation condition and the system start-stop function activation condition are satisfied, and if it is determined that the vehicle speed is equal to or lower than the first speed threshold.

A hydraulic system (1) of an automatic transmission of a motor vehicle includes a hydraulic pump (2) powered by a drive engine for supplying pressure to the hydraulic system (1). A hydraulic reservoir (10) by which, when the drive engine is at rest, a pressure drop in a main pressure circuit (7) of the hydraulic system (1) can at least be delayed. The hydraulic reservoir (10) is connected to the main pressure circuit (7) by way of an orifice (14) or a throttle.

A power transmission includes a first brake, a pressure regulating valve, an accumulator, an oil temperature sensor, a second electromagnetic valve allowing supply of working oil to a piston, and a power transmission control device. The power transmission control device includes a memory relating and storing a working oil temperature and a permission time configured to allow release of the accumulator, and a receiver unit receiving a starting request. The accumulator is connected such that the working oil, in which the pressure is accumulated, can be supplied to the first brake and the piston. The power transmission control device sets a permission time corresponding to a temperature of the working oil on the basis of the memory. The working oil, in which the pressure is accumulated, is supplied to the first brake only during the permission time when restart information is received, while a vehicle performs idling stop control.

A method for operating an automatic transmission (1) of a motor vehicle in which a hydraulic pump, associated with a hydraulic system, for supplying pressure in the hydraulic system is driven by a drive engine and in which hydraulic shifting elements (B1, B2, B3, C1, C2) are actuated to engage gear steps. According to the method, before the drive engine is turned off for a short duration of time, at least one non-actuated shifting element (B1, B2, B3, C1, C2) of the automatic transmission (1) is actuated or filled with pressure oil.
