  • Publication number: 20140349811
    Abstract: A vehicle driving system in which a clutch is disposed between an engine output member and an automatic transmission and the clutch is used as a start clutch that is slip-controlled when a vehicle starts. When a lubricant relay valve is switched to the communicating position, oil from the pressure-regulating oil passage is supplied to the clutch via the input port, the output port, and the clutch lubricant passage. When the lubricant relay valve is switched to the cutoff position, the oil from the pressure-regulating oil passage is supplied to the clutch via the orifice and the clutch lubricant passage, the feedback pressure of the feedback port is increased, the communication rate between the pressure-regulating port and the back-pressure port is increased, and the amount of lubricant supplied from the back-pressure oil passage to the lubrication portion of the automatic transmission is increased.

  • Publication number: 20110314942
    Abstract: A range switching device controls an actuator in response to a shift command from a shift operation portion. The actuator moves a manual valve which sets a shift range of an automatic transmission based on an axial position, and has a drive shaft which, being disposed parallel to the manual valve, is driven so as to be extendable and contractible in an axial direction. The device further includes a holder portion provided at an end portion of the manual valve, and a link pin in which one end is linked to the actuator's drive shaft, and in which the other end is a spherical portion fitted into the holder portion, and engaged in point contact with two axial sides of an inner surface of the holder portion.

  • Publication number: 20110067962
    Abstract: A vehicle hydraulic control device for driving a parking rod to a parking disengagement position and a parking engagement position, and switching a shift range at least between a parking range and a non-parking range by switching an engagement state of a parking gear and a parking pole. The vehicle hydraulic control device includes a parking cylinder and a switch valve. The parking cylinder receives an oil pressure for driving the parking rod to the parking disengagement position. The switch valve is driven based on an electric actuator and switches an operation state between a parking disengagement state in which a source pressure from an oil pressure supply source is supplied to the parking cylinder as a disengagement pressure for disengaging the parking gear and the parking pole from each other, and a parking engagement state in which the disengagement pressure is not supplied to the parking cylinder.
