E4OD Automatic Transmission
The E4OD Transmission is a fully automatic, electronically controlled, four-speed unit with a locking torque converter. The main operating components of the E4OD transmission include a converter clutch, six multiple-disc friction clutches, one band, two sprag one-way clutches and a roller one-way clutch which provide for the desired function of three planetary gear sets.
Transmission gear selection in the (D) range and converter clutch operation is controlled by the EEC-IV control system. Operating conditions are relayed to EEC-IV by various sensors throughout the vehicle. The EEC-IV compares these conditions with electronically stored parameters and logically determines the state that the transmission should operate at.
In the (D) range, automatic operation of all four gears is possible. The Overdrive Cancel Switch, located on the vehicle's shift lever disables overdrive operation and enables automatic operation through the first three gears. Whenever the ignition key is turned on, the vehicle will automatically provide overdrive operation regardless of the switch position the last time the vehicle was running.
Manual gear selection is available in the 1 and 2 range. Second gear is commanded when the gear selector is in the 2 range and when downshifted into the 1 range at speeds above approximately 56 km/h (35 mph) (for diesel 48 km/h (30 mph). First gear is commanded in the 1 range at start-ups and when downshifted into 1 range below approximately 56 km/h (35 mph) (for diesel 48 km/h (30 mph).
NOTE:
Any reference to Intermediate Brake Drum or Direct Clutch Cylinder are one and the same.
