Shift Control

The clutch pressure control solenoid is driven by the signals from the switches and sensors. Thus, as the clutch pressure is adjusted to be appropriate to the engine load state and vehicle driving state. It becomes possible to finely control the clutch hydraulic pressure with high precision and a smoother speed change characteristic is attained.
SHIFT CHANGE
The clutch is controlled with the optimum timing and oil pressure for the engine speed, engine torque information, etc.
Shift Change System Diagram

*1: Full phase real-time feedback control monitors movement of gear ratio at gear change, and controls oil pressure at real-time to achieve the best gear ratio.
