A hydrostatic transmission subassembly for a vehicle includes an adapter manifold and a hydraulic pump mounted to the adapter manifold. The pump includes a pump housing and a pump porting manifold including pump porting for communicating fluid to and from the pump. The adapter manifold may include a mounting section adapted for mounting to the vehicle and a fluid interface section extending from the mounting section. The fluid interface section includes a pump interface having pump interface porting, in which the pump interface engages with the pump porting manifold to fluidly connect the pump interface porting with the pump porting. When the mounting manifold is mounted to the vehicle via the mounting section, the mounting manifold supports the hydraulic pump. The fluid interface section also includes a motor interface having motor interface porting for fluidly connecting to a motor, which enables the mounting manifold to fluidly connect the pump and motor.

Provided is a hydraulic control device in which in the rotation control of the second pump, the required discharge pressure of the second pump can be more reliably maintained below a predetermined pressure in the control that keeps the target rotation speed constant after the feedback control ends. In the rotation control of the second pump, in the control which keeps the target rotation speed constant after the feedback control ends, the rotation of the second pump is controlled by adding a predetermined addition rotation speed to the target rotation speed corresponding to the required discharge pressure. Since the required discharge pressure of the second pump can be maintained below a predetermined pressure in the fixed mode by the addition rotation speed, it can reliably obtain the effect of reducing the work load of the first pump and contribute to the improvement of the fuel efficiency of the vehicle.

A fastening bolt fixes a plurality of stacked plates on each of which a hydraulic integrated circuit for hydraulically controlling an automatic transmission or a continuously variable transmission is formed. The fastening bolt includes a communication passage that communicates between the hydraulic integrated circuits among the plurality of plates.

Systems and apparatuses include a power shift transmission including a plurality of clutch valves, each clutch valve actuatable between an open position providing flow to a corresponding clutch pack and a closed position inhibiting flow to the corresponding clutch pack; and a hydraulic damping rail including a primary rail wall defining a primary rail volume, a rail inlet structured to provide communication of hydraulic fluid between a hydraulic pump and the primary rail volume, and a plurality of rail outlets, each rail outlet corresponding to one of the plurality of clutch valves and structured to provide communication between the primary rail volume and the corresponding one of the plurality of clutch valves.

A switch valve assembly controls first and second fluid flows in a hydraulic circuit defined by a valve body and a separator plate of a valve body assembly of a hydraulic control module. The valve body defines a fluid exit. The valve body is further defined as first and second body housings. The switch valve assembly includes a piston moveable between a first position for allowing the first fluid flow to flow and a second position for allowing the first and second fluid flows to flow into the fluid exit, and a biasing member coupled to the piston and biasing the piston from the second position toward the first position. The piston presents a regulating surface oriented with respect to the first axis. The first fluid flow fluidly engages the regulating surface in a manner that biases the piston into the first position in conjunction with the biasing member.
