Short Answer Essays


1. All fluids conform to the shape of their container. Pascal determined that force applied to liquid
creates pressure, or the transmission of force through the liquid. Liquids have no shape of their
own; they acquire the shape of the container they are put in. Liquids are basically incompressible.
The pressure applied to a liquid in a sealed container is transmitted equally in all directions and to
all areas of the system and acts with equal force on all areas. When a pressure is applied to a
confined liquid, the pressure of the liquid is the same everywhere within the hydraulic system.
2. The basic types of valves used in automatic transmissions are ball, poppet, or needle check
valves and relief valves, orifices, and spool valves.
3. Check valves are used to hold fluid in cylinders and to prevent fluid from returning to the
reservoir. A check valve opens when fluid is flowing and closes when the flow stops. The valve
also closes when fluid pressure is applied to the outlet side of the valve. Check valves can also
serve as a one-way valve and the direction of the fluid flow controls and operates the check valve.
4. The transmission’s pump provides a flow of fluid to the mainline circuit. This flow is limited by
engine speed and the pressure regulator valve. Mainline pressure is developed by the pressure
regulator valve when it blocks or resists the flow of fluid.
5. The separator and transfer plates are designed to seal off some of the passages, and they
contain some openings that help to control and direct fluid flow through specific passages.
6. Mainline pressure is a regulated pump pressure that is the source of all other pressures in the
transmission. Governor pressure is a regulated hydraulic pressure that varies with vehicle speed.
Throttle pressure is a regulated pressure that varies with engine load or throttle position.
7. The three common designs of governors are shaft-mounted, gear-driven with check balls, and
gear-driven with a spool valve.
8. Shift valves control the upshifting and downshifting of the transmission by controlling the flow of
fluid to the apply devices that engage the different gears.
9. Shifting electronically allows for shifting at more optimum times than does shifting by hydraulics
and is based on inputs to a control computer from various sensors, such as engine temperature,
engine speed, engine load, vehicle speed, throttle position, and gear selector position.
10. A ball-type check valve without a return spring can be used as a two-way check valve. This type
of valve is used where hydraulic pressure from two different sources is to be sent to the same
outlet port. When hydraulic pressure on one side of the valve is stronger than the pressure on the
other side of the valve, the ball moves to the weaker side and closes that port. The ball will toggle
between the ports in response to differing pressures. Both ports are open at the same time unless
the pressures on both sides of the ball are equal. Normally, if the pressures were equal, the ball
would be centered and would block off the outlet port.
