General information
Transmission 722.9 is an electronically controlled automatic transmission with 7 forwards and 2 reverse gears. All transmission functions and transmission components have been combined in an assembly module. The integration of the electrohydraulic controller unit (21) in the transmission means that the interfaces to the wiring loom have been minimized. The electrohydraulic controller unit (21) is installed at the bottom of the transmission housing. It is constantly flushed with transmission oil and cooled as a result. Transmission 722.9 can be roughly divided into the following component groups:
- Torque converter with torsional damper and torque converter lockup clutch (16)
- Oil pump (6) for producing the necessary oil pressure and for lubricating the actuators and bearing points
- Transmission housing made from light metal alloy with mechanical transmission components and electrohydraulic controller unit (21)
- Mechanical transmission components, consisting of the Ravigneaux gear set (9), the single front planetary gear set (12a), the single rear planetary gear set (12b) and the park pawl
- Multidisk clutch K1 (8), multidisk clutch K2 (11), multidisk clutch K3 (14), multidisk brake B1 (7), multidisk brake B2 (15), multidisk brake B3 (10) and multidisk brake BR (13). Single-sided lamella are used on the multidisk clutches K1, K2, K3 (8, 11, 14) and the multidisk brake B1 (7) as well as the multidisk brake B3 (10). The friction lining is only coated on one side on this type of lamella. As a result the heat distribution in the clutch pack has been improved and simultaneously compactness has been achieved, the load-carrying capacity having been increased the mass having been reduced. Lamella coated on both sides continue to be used for the B2 multi-disk brake (15) and BR multi-disk brake (13).
- Electrohydraulic controller unit (21), consisting of the electric controller unit (VGS) (Y3/8), valve housing and valve body
The following information is taken into account when shifting the drive positions:
- Vehicle speed
- Load condition of the vehicle
- Driving resistance
- Position and actuation speed of the accelerator pedal sensor
