A clutch-side transmission circuit transmits, from a clutch pedal, a restoring action of the depressed clutch pedal. A switching device connects a first clutch-side hydraulic circuit to the pedal-side hydraulic circuit when a shift lever SL is tilted forwards and connects a second clutch-side hydraulic circuit to the pedal-side hydraulic circuit when the shift lever SL is tilted rearwards. A first clutch is engaged in response to the restoring action of the clutch pedal being transmitted from the first clutch-side transmission circuit. A second clutch is engaged in response to the restoring action of the clutch pedal being transmitted from the second clutch-side transmission circuit.

A transmission calibration tool automatically generates a detailed gearbox model based on a user input transmission topology description. During transmission calibration, the tool accepts inputs from transmission speed and torque sensors and estimates component torques for each gear element and each shift element. Following a shift or other transmission event, the calibration tool plots the component torques as a function of time, permitting the calibration engineer to better understand what is occurring during the event, and thus reducing the time required for calibration. The calibration tool also adapts several transmission component models and outputs the adapted models to provide insight into actual transmission component behavior.

A transmission includes an input member, an output member, three planetary gear sets, a coupling member and a plurality of torque transmitting devices. Each of the planetary gear sets includes first, second and third members. The torque transmitting devices include clutches and brakes.

A driveline assembly for a recreational vehicle may include an engine and an automated sequential transmission.

An electric motor damping module includes an electric motor, a motor damper continuously interconnected with the electric motor, and an input member continuously interconnected with the motor damper. A transmission includes these elements, plus an output member, first, second, and third planetary gear sets each having first, second and third members, a first interconnecting member continuously interconnecting the third member of the first planetary gear set with the second member of the second planetary gear set, a second interconnecting member continuously interconnecting the second member of the first planetary gear set and the output member with the third member of the third planetary gear set, and a third interconnecting member continuously interconnecting the third member of the second planetary gear set with the second member of the third planetary gear set. The transmission also includes six torque transmitting mechanisms and a hydraulic pump. A sealing assembly is also provided.

A gear engagement method for a hybrid vehicle includes detecting whether or not baulking occurs when a controller attempts to engage a target gear via a synchronizer. The gear engagement method also includes checking, by the controller, for a stationary state of the vehicle if the result of the detecting shows that there is baulking. The gear engagement method also includes engaging, by the controller via the synchronizer, a different gear that shares a same input shaft with the target gear if the result of the checking shows that the vehicle is in a stationary state. The gear engagement method also includes reattempting an engagement with the target gear after disengaging the different gear. The disengaging and the reattempting are performed by the controller via the synchronizer after the engaging.

A shift by wire control for a multi-speed vehicle transmission is provided. The control includes a shift by wire shift valve in fluid communication with other shift valves and clutch trim valves to provide double blocking features in the neutral range and a reverse range. The shift by wire valve is configured with multiple differential areas to provide failure modes for all forward ranges.

A power extraction system for a gas turbine engine may comprise a low spool transmission and a low spool accessory gearbox. The low spool accessory gearbox may comprise a generator and a dual clutch transmission. The dual clutch transmission may be coupled between the low spool transmission and the generator.

A dual clutch transmission 1 includes a first clutch 2, a second clutch 3, a first input shaft 4, a second input shaft 5, a counter shaft 6, an output shaft 7, a first splitter gear changing portion 10, a second splitter gear changing portion 20, and an output portion 30.

The second splitter gear changing portion 20 has an input/output gear 21a, a third counter gear 21b, a second coupling mechanism 22, and a third coupling mechanism 23. The output portion 30 has a fourth counter gear 31a, a forward output gear 31b, and a fourth coupling mechanism 33.

A method of determining automatic transmission lubrication fluid flow rates corresponding to a running vehicle without direct oil flow measurements is disclosed. A set of in-vehicle clutch torques for a chosen clutch pack during a gear shift event for a set of shift conditions is obtained. A series of bench tests at various clutch-pack clearances and oil-flow rates for the set of shift conditions are performed. The clearances and oil-flow rates are adjusted in response to the measured magnitudes exceeding thresholds. In-vehicle transmission lubrication oil-flow rates are estimated at the chosen clutch pack for the set of shift conditions when the bench-test and in-vehicle clutch torques are less than the thresholds. The steps are reproduced for other engine conditions and fluid temperatures corresponding to other transmission gear positions. A functional map of in-vehicle oil flow rates are produced, and the transmission is adjusted based on the map.
