Abstract: A transmission oil sump comprises a main oil compartment, in which a suction line of an oil pump is located, and a secondary oil compartment. The secondary oil compartment is in fluid communication with the main oil compartment via an opening. To prevent the introduction of air during rapid acceleration, cornering at high speeds and/or rapid deceleration of the vehicle, a barrier closes the opening to prevent the flow of oil out of the main oil compartment into the secondary oil compartment so that the oil level, required for the oil pump in the main compartment, remains adequately high. When not closed, the opening of the secondary oil compartment is open to ensure oil flow from the secondary oil compartment to the main oil compartment. The secondary oil compartments is arranged so as to collect oil that leaks from transmission components.

Abstract: The control of a shifting component (1) of a stepped automatic transmission is designed with one frictionally engaged element (2) and one form-locking element (3). When this shifting component (1) is engaged, a transmitting capacity of the frictionally engaged element (2) is first adjusted and when a synchronous state of the form-locking element (3) exists, the form-locking element (3) is closed. When the form-locking element (3) is closed, a transmitting capacity of the frictionally engaged element (3) is reduced. In case of a demand for disengaging the shifting component (1) before opening under load, the form-locking element (3) and the transmitting capacity of the frictionally engaged element (2) is increased so that a power flow, which is conveyed via the closed form-locking element (3) of the shifting component (1), can be conveyed via the frictionally engaged element when the form-locking element (3) is open.

Abstract: A gear selector device for a transmission of a motor vehicle in which at least one gear wheel 2, 3 and one sliding sleeve 4 are situated upon one transmission shaft 1. For axial displacement of the sliding sleeve 4 upon the transmission shaft 1, a pressure-medium actuatable shifting device 45 is used which is supplied with a control pressure medium through a hole 10 within the transmission shaft 1.

To the end, it is provided that the shifting devices 45, 46 of the sliding sleeves 4, 20 can be supplied independently of each other with a control pressure medium through one common pressure medium hole 6 in the transmission shaft 1.
