General Information
Transmission
♦ The 8-speed automatic transmission 0BK AWD is equipped
with 8 hydraulically activated forward gears. When the torque
converter lock-up clutch is closed, these forward gears be‐
come manually driven gears through bypassing the torque
converter slip.
♦ A special feature of the 0BK transmission is the position of the
front final drive (front axle differential with flange shafts) in front
of the torque converter. An even distribution of the weight be‐
tween the front and rear axles is attained.
Torque Converter
The torque converter is equipped with a slip-controlled torque
converter lock-up clutch. Due to the new design of this transmis‐
sion, the torque converter is located behind the front final drive.
Mechatronic
The Mechatronic combines the following components as a com‐
plete synchronized unit:
♦ Transmission Control Module - J217- , hydraulic control
♦ The sensors and actuators
The Mechatronic unit is installed in the transmission in the area
of the ATF pan.
Transmission Control Module - J217-
The control module is a part of the Mechatronic unit in the trans‐
mission.
