How an Automatic Transmission Works (RWD)

Here's how the automatic transmission works in your rear wheel drive car to send power from the engine to the wheels.
The purpose of an automatic transmission is send power from the engine to the drive wheels of a vehicle. It automatically decides and selects the gear ratio which will provide the appropriate torque or power to the wheels according to the driver's input and engine's power output.
To skip the disassembly, jump to 5:10.
The transmission's bell housing mounts to the engine's output at its flywheel, and drives the transmission oil pump and torque converter at its input shaft. Fluid pressure then activates a series of clutches that compress and hold one of three components of the planetary gear-set stationary (sun gear, ring gear or planet carrier), with the other two being inputs and outputs. In this transmission there are three planetary gear-sets nestled within each other along a single axis, since the transmission is mounted longitudinally underneath the middle of the vehicle for RWD.
Controlling all of this is a transmission computer inside the valve body, which is a network of hydraulic passages that direct the fluid based on the activation of solenoids. The transmission computer must select the appropriate gear, and slowly engage the clutches as to allow some slip for a smooth gear change by monitoring fluid pressure.
At the output shaft, the parking pawl locks the driveshaft stationary and a hall effect sensor reads the final output speed. Other notable components include thrust bearings, one way clutches, the transmission pump, numerous snap rings and pistons, temperature and pressure sensors, filter, the brake drum and band clutch and the transmission pan.

Hello sir, I have a problem with my automatic transmission on a mercedes w203, It has a hard shift from 1st to 2nd gear when i press the throttle. (When i lightly press the pedal, it shifts normally like 30% of the time) I went to a mechanic and he said that the lines of oil flow are broken and said to replace the whole valve body, and somehow I don't believe thats the issue. I would really appreciate your advice and expertise. Thank you in advance

[@nasedo3129]

Absolutely amazing. I work in a metal stamping factory now and I'm trying to imagine how each individual part is made and it's just staggering to think about. The complexity of the case casting, the valve body casting etc. The guys who designed this thing are absolute geniuses. When I see this I'm amazed cars are as cheap as they are.

[@speedkar99]

I have a similar train of thought... Everytime I open something I examine it from a manufacturing perspective, and think of the scale of mass production, it's immense!

[@cyrusmanz2253]

ATs are really not as complicated as they seem on first glance.. First of all we have to appreciate the fact that with relatively small design differences, all auto transmissions are pretty much constructed on the same principles, with the caveat of electronics that have compacted the design of ATs considerably, when you consider that ATs were first produced when there was no electronics, back in 1948 when the first true AT was installed on production model Oldsmobile, when there was no calculators, desktop computers or CAD software. All designed by hand on drawing boards. So when a team of engineers design a new transmission, they are not designing it grounds up (the planetary gears, Systems of Limits and Fits, Spline housings, shafts, bearings and other machined or stamped parts are pretty much the same with variations in size. The same goes for castings. All aluminum castings are variations of the same thing. In fact CAD systems such as SolidWorks have built in elements for AT design as a standard feature. Anyway, these videos are absolutely awesome and I do hope that one day you will invest in an actual disassembly table so you won't have to sit on the ground for all this amazing work. Good job, man...Keep it up.

[@bigbluebuttonman1137]

Once you have the design worked out, it’s just a matter of getting the infrastructure to build it. That’s why the prototypes cost so much, while the production version-whatever we’re talking about-isn’t nearly as expensive.

[@johnheyden7277]

I went to an auto repair school 50 yrs ago and as part of the final exam we had to take an automatic transmission apart and repair and rebuild a motor. Lucky for me my 57 chevy convertible needed both and under the tutilage of Mr. Sam I achieved a passing grade and got both done. Although it wasn't as complicated as transmissions today. It took me 6 months to learn what i watched in 20 minutes in this video! Good job.

It's crazy to me that automakers have their processes so much under control that they can make all these components and still get a markup on them. The wonders of the industrial age.

Incredible stuff, how do people come up with this. The number of skills needed to put something like this together, the technologies, equipment, cooperation between different teams, designs, prototyping. Truly amazing. Then when something goes wrong, people call it stupid junk and throw it out.. Thanks for showing this! I always get an urge to really completely understand everything that goes on something I take apart (like you, I reckon), but that seems impossible in something as complex as this. Imagine just trying to trace out all those channels in the hydraulic maze..

The big pistons in the bottom of the case are accumulators that are used to control shift feel and firmness. I prefer a good hard shift because it makes the thing respond faster and it wears the frictions less, but most people don't want to feel the shift at all :/

[@speedkar99]

Yes they are. It also controls the front band clutch to lock the drum

[@danhg3885]

This transmission does not have any accumulators in the case. The servo piston in the case controls the application of the front band. There is one small accumulator in the valvebody to control the forward engagement feel. Shift feel is completely electronically controlled in this model.

Probably the best explanation of how the auto transmission works on the net. Simply superb. I am a professional Chemical engineer and have worked on cars all my life but understanding the automatic transmission still makes my head go in circles. For me the icing on the cake was the explanation about the transmission pump which no one else ever had done and I kept wondering where is the pump. It was important for me to know if its a positive displacement pump thus meaning you can't run it dry if you want to replace the fluid by keeping the engine running and using the tranny pump to discharge all of the approx. 6 quarts and then replace it. Replacing the oil with a dead engine only gets approx. 2 quarts out. Your tear down seemed like a GM tranny, would love to see a ZF tear down which will be similar to AISIN of Japanese cars. Love your review style sparkled with infrequent jokes & sarcasm.

Excellent video. If I ever have tranny problems, I want you or someone with your knowledge to work on it. Years ago, I had burned the clutches in my "hot rod" so I took it out and put it on a bench. I'd overhauled a few engines and had a lot of confidence. I realized pretty quickly that I had no clue as to what I was attempting. That spring that hit your car? I wasn't so lucky. I think mine exited via the garage door. I never found it. I finally realized I didn't have to take that apart to get to the clutches. I began disassembling what you so easily disassembled and once I got to the clutches and realized I hadn't kept track of the order of things I'd removed, I put everything in the back of a pickup and visited my local junkyard. It was a little embarrassing but I learned a lesson!

Loved the humor, and the explanation was very thorough.

What humor?

That was the best and easiest to understand. Thank you.

Cool video! The parking/emergency brake pawl also uses a ratchet mechanism which prevents it from engaging if the output shaft is still rotating too fast due to the car being in motion. If you put your car in "P" while driving (which of course is not something you should really do!) then you'll hear a clicking sound which is due to the ratchet mechanism being deflected away from locking the pawl in position.
