Publication number: 20070060439Abstract: In an automatic transmission (AT) in which an input shaft (Input) and an output gear (Output) are disposed on the same axis and three clutches (C1-C3) and two brakes (B1, B2) are selectively operated to provide six forward speeds, first and second planetary gear sets (GS1, GS2) are configured to consistently reduce the speed of input rotation and output the speed-reduced rotation, thereby enabling downsizing of them. The first and second planetary gear sets (GS1, GS2) are arranged in a transmission case at both the axial ends thereof. Third and fourth planetary gear sets (GS3, GS4) are connected to each other to have four rotation elements in combination, thereby constituting a Simpson planetary gear train. One of the four rotation elements (a fourth carrier (PC4) in an illustrated example) is connected to the output gear (Output).Type: ApplicationFiled: August 31, 2006Publication date: March 15, 2007Applicant: MAZDA MOTOR CORPORATIONInventors: Shinya Kamada, Junichi Doi, Takamichi Teraoka, Tokimori Saka, Tatsutoshi Mizobe, Naohiro Sakaue, Yoshihiko Fujita, Norio Iwashita, Satoshi Komori, Kazuhiko Ueda, Seiji Esaki

Patent number: 5159856Abstract: An automatic transmission line pressure control system controls line pressure in an automatic transmission equipped with a torque convertor for hydraulically coupling and uncoupling friction coupling elements of the automatic transmission. The automatic transmission line pressure control system regulates line pressure for selectively coupling and uncoupling the friction coupling elements so as to shift the automatic transmission into desired speed gears. The line pressure is forcibly dropped to a level lower than a level present before an occurrence of a manual shift-down operation when a shift-down sensor detects the occurrence of a manual shift-down. The line pressure is then raised as a speed sensor detects an increase in rotational speed transmitted the automatic transmission, thereby shifting the automatic transmission into desired speed gears.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 1991Date of Patent: November 3, 1992Assignee: Mazda Motor CorporationInventors: Hiroshi Yoshimura, Masahito Kitada, Koichiro Takeuchi, Junichi Doi
