Description Of Construction And Operation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2015 Mitsubishi Lancer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The TC-SST assembly consists mainly of the clutch, shifting section, valve body, and TC-SST-ECU. The valve body is controlled by TC-SST-ECU, and the clutch and shifting operations are performed by the hydraulic pressure from the valve body.
| Name | Structure and action | |
|---|---|---|
| Shift mechanism | Clutch | Two wet multiplate clutches are divided for the odd number gears and even number gears, and each clutch is engaged and released alternately. |
| Shifting section (Reverse, 1st, 3rd, 5th) | The odd number gear axle consists of the reverse, 1st, 3rd, and 5th gears, synchronizer, and two shift forks, and it is connected to the clutch (for odd number gears). | |
| Shifting section (2nd, 4th, 6th) | The even number gear axle consists of the 2nd, 4th, and 6th gears, synchronizer, and two shift forks, and it is connected to the clutch (for even number gears). | |
| Hydraulic mechanism | Valve body | The hydraulic circuit for feeding oil to each part of TC-SST assembly is mounted, and the solenoid valve for changing the circulating path and controlling the hydraulic pressure is equipped. |
| Control mechanism | TC-SST-ECU | Incorporated into the TC-SST assembly. Controls the solenoid valve based on various signals. |
