Abstract: A hydraulic system for a transmission of a motor vehicle, the system having first and second pumps for conveying hydraulic fluid into primary and/or system-pressure circuits so that an intended pressure prevails in the circuits. The system further including liquid retention means preventing a flow of hydraulic fluid conveyed by the second pump from being conducted through the first pump when the first pump is not conveying and the second pump is conveying, and preventing a flow of hydraulic fluid conveyed by the first pump from being conducted through the second pump when the second pump is not conveying and the first pump is conveying. The system additionally including a sailing-mode lubricating valve for controlling, by an open-loop system, a flow rate of hydraulic fluid conveyed by the second pump into the primary and/or secondary system-pressure circuits such that the intended pressure is set in the system-pressure circuits.

Abstract: A device for actuating a locking mechanism, in particular for actuating a parking lock of a vehicle having an automatic transmission. The device comprises a piston which axially moves, a retaining device which is self-activating when the piston is in an axial position in which the locking mechanism is open to hold the piston in the axial position in which the locking mechanism is open, and an actuating device for actuating a release element, which deactivates the retaining device. To hold the piston in an axial position in which the locking mechanism is closed, the retaining device is self-activating, and can be deactivated to enable the piston to move, starting from the axial position in which the locking mechanism is closed, to the axial position in which the locking mechanism is open.

Abstract: A mechanism for actuating a transmission having shifting elements. A self-holding valve device is movable into a first position, by a pilot pressure, against a force directed to a second position and held by a pressure holding signal in the first position. Transmission of a pressure signal, to a switching valve, is blocked by the self-holding valve device in the first position but, in the second position, is applied to the switching valve. When the driver sets the switching valve to a first shift position, the pressure signal can be applied to valve devices of at least two of the shifting elements that produce an actuating pressure and, in a second shift position of the switching valve, the onward transmission of the pressure signal, to the valve devices of the shifting elements that produce an actuating pressure, is blocked in the area of the switching valve.
