Synchro Shuttle Gearbox
Hydraulic and Electrical Operation
Oil from the pump
B
is fed through an internal
passage via the filter to the pressure maintenance
valve
D
, which maintains pressure to the solenoid
valve
E
for clutch selection. Excess oil from the
maintainance valve flows back through the casing
to the torque converter
S
. Oil enters the converter
between the converter hub and the stator support,
and leaves between the stator and the input shaft.
Pressure in t he c o nvert er is c o nt ro lled b y a
regulat ing valve
C
w hic h d ump s oil from t he
converter line back to the sump.
Torque converter relief valve
V
acts as a safety
valve should the system pressure suddenly rise
obove normal, protecting the torque converter from
being damaged.
Oil from the torque converter
S
flows out of the
transmission to the external oil cooler
Z
, returning
at the rear of the transmission unit to pass through
t he c ent re o f t he reverser shaf t f o r c lut c h
lubrication.
Lubrication oil is also provided via a pump drain
line to the forward/reverse front shaft bearing
A4
.
The drain from pressure maintenance valve
D
also
provides lubrication for idler gear bearing
F
.
Solenoid Valve
(
E
)
Operation
Pressurised oil at the solenoid valve
E
is used to
control the forward/reverse clutches
A1
and
A2
.
Forward:
In the diagram, electrical solenoid
E1
is energised
by the forward/reverse control lever in the cab.
Pressurised oil is diverted to the forward clutch
A1
and forward is selected. A restrictor orifice in the
feed to the solenoid valve modulates the pressure
to the clutch to smooth engagement. At the same
time oil from reverse clutch
A2
is diverted back to
the sump via solenoid valve
E
.
Reverse:
When the reverse is selected electrical solenoid
E2
is energised and pressurised oil is diverted to the
reverse clutch
A2
. At the same time oil from clutch
A1
is diverted back to the sump
Neutral:
When neutral is selected (via the control lever or the
t ransm issio n d um p b ut t o n), t he f lo w o f t he
pressurised oil is blocked at the solenoid valve. No
solenoids are energised and no clutches engaged.
