Topic: Automatic Drive


  
  Automatic Transmissions A Short Course on How They Work
A drive shaft connects the rear of the transmission to the final drive which is located in the rear axle and is used to send power to the rear wheels.
A much less popular rear drive arrangement has the transmission mounted directly to the final drive at the rear and is connected by a drive shaft to the torque converter which is still mounted on the engine.
The modern automatic transmission consists of many components and systems that are designed to work together in a symphony of clever mechanical, hydraulic and electrical technology that has evolved over the years into what many mechanically inclined individuals consider to be an art form.

 4WD Systems - MSN Autos
When a driver shifts from two- to four-wheel drive in a vehicle with part-time four-wheel drive, he or she locks together the front and rear axles, so the front and rear wheels rotate at the same speed.
The appeal of these automatic four-wheel-drive vehicles is they monitor and sense their own traction needs as they travel, and automatically adjust how the power is delivered to the wheels.
Automatic four-wheel drive has been a growing offering on vehicles and is available on such models as the Ford Escape and Lexus GX 470.

 RoSPA Advanced Drivers and Riders : Articles : The Use of Automatic Gearboxes   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
This almost fluid connection between the engine, through the gearbox, to the drive wheels means that leaving the gear lever in ‘D’ when negotiating a hazard is not the same as leaving a manual gearbox in top gear.
Many drivers of automatics leave the gear selector in D and never consider other options built into the gearbox even though there are times when this might be clearly desirable to optimise flexibility and control of the vehicle.
Although brakes on automatics are larger than on their manual counterparts, ‘brake fade’ can still create a problem but manually locking a low ratio provides compression braking to enhance flexibility and braking control, particularly when towing a trailer/caravan.

 Studebaker Drivers Club - Push-starting an Automatic Drive
The primary source of hydraulic pressure is the front pump, which is driven by the engine by a pair of tangs on the outer sleeve of the torque convertor shaft.
In the early days of automatics (starting in the 40's), push starts were a design consideration since engines and electrical systems mainly batteries) were not as developed or reliable as they are now.
Before sophisticated electronic controls began to appear in automatics (70’s-80’s) and operation was still fully hydraulic, the shift points were (mainly) controlled by a driveshaft driven governor that modulated the line pressure.

In this case automatic will be better - your right hand will be less tired and you won’t have to use the left foot.
Besides, driving in heavy traffic with a lot of high-speed operation and frequent stops will not be very good for the clutch.
Although automatic transmissions now got very sophisticated and adapt to the one’s driving style, they still cannot predict your intentions.

 The Hy-Drive automatic transmission
Advertised as the transmission for those who wanted the ease of automatic driving yet the ability to select their own gears, it really was just a stop-gap measure to mark time until the new fully automatic Powerflite would become available during the 1954 model year.
Since the buying public was clamoring for automatic transmissions, Plymouth tried to make the "Hy-Drive" look as "automatic" as possible by placing an indicator quadrant on the steering column, even though the lever still shifted in the normal H-pattern.
The drive line was not as long, and used a longer, heavier tail shaft to handle the additional torque.

 MCS automatic test drive - MINI2
One oddity I found was that when I came to traffic lights having used 2nd gear initially to engine brake but then having used the brake pedal to come to a full stop without bothering any further with the paddles, the car would pull out from stationary in second gear (according to the digital readout).
All in all I thought the automatic version was a truly terrific car, and one that would really reward the thoughtful driver who takes the time to master it.
And having had numerous traditional automatic trannies that failed in the past, I am more concerned with the reliability of the tranny especially when trying to manually shift it.
