Automatic Gearbox
Most modern automatic gearboxes have a set of gears called a planetary or epicyclic gear train. A planetary gear set consists of a central gear called the sun gear, an outer ring with internal gear teeth (also known as the annulus, or ring gear ), and two or three gears known as planet gears that rotate between the sun and ring gears. Automatic Transmission. Zoran driver. When comparing CVT versus automatic transmission technology, the CVT's benefit is its ability to change its gear ratio as the engine speed changes continuously. It means the engine always performs at peak efficiency. There are a seemingly infinite number of gear ratios. Automatic transmissions are very expensive to replace so it is worth the effort to keep it well maintained. What the automatic transmission light means If the computer detects any abnormal readings from the sensors, a code will be stored and the automatic transmission indicator light will turn on to alert the driver of possible issues.
TVS Engineering has developed unique software solutions for several automatic gearboxes (Tiptronic) to achieve increased engine performance without any transmission problems.
Automatic Transmissions For Sale
First of all most automatic transmissions have torque limiters integrated in the TCU software. Instead of only raising torque limiters true specialism and knowledge is needed since exceeding the mechanical limitations of the gearbox components will cause instant damage. In addition we ensure that gear changes with increased performance remain smooth and strong due to increasing hydraulic system pressures.
Automatic Gearbox Problems
The factory software from the latest automatic gearboxes is mainly focused on passing emission tests and lowering fuel consumption which results in poor drivability and durability. Within TVS software shifting strategies are remapped to match (tuned) engine characteristics resulting in a more pleasant driving behavior and increased performance.
