Description of system 1 Description of system 1.1 General description The ZF- AS TRONIC automatic transmission is adapted to the engine by means of a standard dry clutch. Since the clutch is also controlled by the ZF- AS TRONIC transmission system, the clutch pedal can be dispensed with. The transmission actuator and the clutch actuator are the components most crucial to complete transmission automation. The transmission actuator consists of the transmission electronics, shift valves, shift cylinders and sensors. The ZF- AS TRONIC consists of a basic transmission and an integrated splitter and planetary group.
The clutch actuator is electro-pneumatically controlled and is responsible for the entire clutch actuation process. The basic transmission is shifted using constant mesh gears. The splitter and planetary group are synchronized. A display in the dashboard shows the driver all the system information required (e.g. gear stage, fault, etc.) 1-2
