Abstract: The present invention relates to a two-speed transmission for an electric driving vehicle and the two-speed transmission for an electric vehicle has only one actuator. The transmission comprises a planetary gear mechanism (12), an elastic body (44), an armature (26) to integrally rotate with an input axis, an electromagnetic coil (46) and a multi-plate friction clutch (30). A ring gear (20) is fixed to a housing. The armature (26) comprises clutch projection portions (26-1). A dog clutch is constituted by the clutch projection portions (26-1) and recess portions (18-2) of a sun gear (18). When the electromagnetic coil (46) is not electrically energized, the dog clutch is engaged. The rotation of the input axis is reduced and is transmitted to an output axis via the sun gear (18) and a carrier (16).

Abstract: A shift control system for an automatic transmission. The shift control system includes an oil temperature sensor, a hydraulic controller to operate a hydraulic clutch, and a control unit in operative communication with the oil temperature sensor and the hydraulic controller. When a gear shift is requested just after an engine restart, the control unit controls the hydraulic clutch with an adjusted shift control process, in contrast to a normal condition of the engine. This adjustment is determined based on a first oil temperature at a time point when the engine is last stopped and on a temperature difference between the first oil temperature and a second oil temperature at a time point when the engine is last restarted after the last engine stop.

Abstract: A shift control system for an automatic transmission wherein shifting from a first gear ratio to a second gear ratio is carried out by releasing the hydraulic pressure of a first friction engaging element for disengagement thereof and supplying the hydraulic pressure to a second friction engaging element for engagement thereof, the hydraulic pressure to the second friction engaging element being subjected to feedback control, wherein the shift control system includes a sensor for sensing a parameter on a vehicle cruising condition; and an ECU having a part for calculating, in accordance with the sensed parameter, a difference in output-side rotational speed of the fluid coupling before and after the shifting; and a part for setting, when the shifting is carried out with an output of the engine being smaller than a predetermined value, the second hydraulic pressure in accordance with the calculated difference immediately before start of the feedback control.

Abstract: A transmission control system, includes: 1) a high speed side friction element for establishing a high speed side change gear; and 2) a low speed side friction element for establishing a low speed side change gear. After a disengagement of the high speed side friction element, the low speed side friction element makes an engagement for carrying out a downshift from the high speed side change gear to the low speed side change gear. When the downshift is carried out with an accelerator turned off, a stepping on the accelerator sensed in a period between the following times: i) a time for commanding a start of a transmission, and ii) a time for the low speed side friction element to start a conveyance of a torque, prevents a changeover to the low speed side change gear, thus keeping the high speed side change gear.

Abstract: A method is provided for the control of the state of engagement of a damper clutch arranged in association with a vehicle engine, which has a fuel cut mechanism for suspending a supply of fuel during a decelerated operation, to permit connection between an input member and an output member in a torque converter arranged on an output side of the engine. Upon detection of a decelerated operation of the engine, the damper clutch is controlled to bring the input member and output member into a desired state of engagement. Here, the damper clutch is first released for a predetermined time and is then moved to an engaged side. Next, the damper clutch is feedback-controlled into a desired slip state so that the input member and the output member are allowed to rotate with a desired difference in revolution speed therebetween. A system for practicing the method is also described.
