TRANSMISSION 

The 4-speed automatic transmission 01M is equipped with 4 hydraulically activated forward gears. When the 
lock-up clutch is closed these forward gears become mechanically driven gears by cutting-out the torque 
converter slip. 

TORQUE CONVERTER 

The torque converter is equipped with a lock-up clutch. The lock-up clutch is closed dependent on load and 
speed and drives 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th gears mechanically independent of slip. 

In some cases, it may be necessary for installation of a new converter to remove the sleeve bearing from the 
turbine shaft. 

ON BOARD DIAGNOSTIC (OBD) 

It is recommended that the OBD be performed before and after each repair. See DIAGNOSIS - 01M article. 

TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE 

With Driving Situation Gear Changes (Fuzzy Logic) 

Determining the driving situation and driving resistance dependent gear change point happens automatically. 

Advantages:  

z

Gear changes will be consumption orientated  

z

Maximum engine output is always available  

z

Individual adaption of gear change points in all driving situations  

z

Gear change points are infinitely variable  

Gear Change Point Variations For Hills 

An additional gear change map automatically selects gear changes for hills dependent upon accelerator pedal 
position and driving speed. 

Gear change map for extreme uphill stretches is matched to engine output. 

Gear change map for extreme downhill stretches is matched to the braking effect of the engine. 

LUBRICATION & ADJUSTMENTS 

For lubrication and adjustments, see SERVICING - A/T (01M) article in TRANSMISSION SERVICING.
