J DESCRIPTION
D The U240E and the U341E are compact, lightweight, and high-capacity 4-speed automatic transaxles equippedwith the [Super ECT (Electronically Controlled Transaxle)]. The U240E automatic transaxle has been newly
adopted on the 2ZZ-GE engine models, and the U341E automatic transaxle on the 1ZZ-FE engine models.D Both the U240E and U341E automatic transaxles have adopted a planetary gear unit with a new gear layout.
D The U240E automatic transaxle has adopted the E-Shift system, which has transmission shift switches lo-cated on the steering wheel to enable the driver to manually shift the gears without taking the hands off the steering wheel, provided that the floor shift lever is engaged in the M position.
D A shift lock mechanism is incorporated to minimize the possibility of incorrect operation of the automatictransaxle.
D The overdrive switch has been changed from the previous ON/OFF lock type to the momentary type switch.
D Automatic transaxle fluid is used T-IV.

1. General
U240E Automatic Transaxle
The U240E automatic transaxle has adopted a new gear layout. In the new gear layout, the counter driveand driven gears are placed in front of the front planetary gear and the under drive (U/D) planetary gearunit is placed above the counter shaft. Furthermore, the force transmission method has been changed byeliminating the brake and the one-way clutch. As a result, torque capacity that accommodates the high out-put engine has been attained, while realizing a compact gear unit.

1. GeneralThe hydraulic control system is composed of the oil pump, the valve body, the solenoid valves, the accumula-tors, the clutches and brakes as well as the fluid passages which connected all of these components.
Based on the hydraulic pressure acting on the torque converter clutch, clutches and brakes in accordance withthe vehicle driving conditions.
2. Oil Pump (U341E Automatic Transaxle)An oil pump, in which the shape of the teeth has been changed and the crescent has been discontinued, hasbeen adopted.As a result, the oil pump has been made more compact, and the driving torque has been reduced, thus realizingexcellent volumetric efficiency during low-speed operation.
3. Valve BodyThe valve body has a two-stage construction. Also, a compact, lightweight, and highly rigid valve body hasbeen realized. All the solenoid valves are installed in the lower valve body.

D In order to provide a hydraulic pressure that is proportion to current that flows to the solenoid coil, thesolenoid valves SLT linearly controls the line pressure based on the signals it receives from the ECM.
D The solenoid valves No.1 and No.2 control the hydraulic pressure during shifting, and the solenoid valveST operates only when shifting from the 3rd gear to the 4th gear, and from the 4th gear to the 3rd gear.
3. Fluid Temperature SensorA fluid temperature sensor is installed inside the valve body for direct detection of the fluid temperature.
4. Speed SensorsThe U240E and U341E automatic transaxles have adopted an input turbine speed sensor (for the NT signal),and the U240E automatic transaxle has adopted a counter gear speed sensor (for the NC signal). Thus, theECM can detect the timing of the shifting of the gears and appropriately control the engine torque and hydrau-
lic pressure in response to the various conditions.

4. Centrifugal Fluid Pressure Cancelling MechanismA centrifugal fluid pressure canceling mechanism has been adopted in the clutches. On the U240E automatictransaxle, this mechanism is provided in the C 1, C 2 and C 3 clutches for 2nd/3rd and 3rd/4th gear shifting,and on the U341E automatic transaxle, this mechanism is provided in the C 1 clutch for 4th/3rd and 4th/2ndgear shifting.
In the conventional clutch mechanism, to prevent the generation of pressure by the centrifugal force that isapplied to the fluid in the piston fluid pressure chamber when the clutch is released, a check ball is providedto discharge the fluid. Therefore, before the clutch can be subsequently applied, it took time for the fluid tofill the piston fluid pressure chamber. During shifting, in addition to the pressure that is controlled by the valvebody, the pressure that acts on the fluid in the piston fluid pressure chamber also exerts influence, which isdependent upon rpm fluctuations. In order to eliminate this influence, a canceling fluid pressure chamber isprovided opposite to the piston fluid pressure chamber. By utilizing the lubrication fluid such as that of theshaft, the same amount of centrifugal force is applied, thus canceling the centrifugal force that is applied tothe piston itself. Accordingly, it is not necessary to discharge the fluid through the use of a check ball, anda highly responsive and smooth shifting characteristic has been achieved.

5. Line Pressure Optimal ControlThe line pressure is controlled by using a solenoid valve SLT. Through the use of the solenoid valve SLT,the line pressure is optimally controlled in accordance with the engine torque information, as well as withthe internal operating conditions of the torque converter and the transaxle. Accordingly, the line pressure canbe controlled minutely in accordance with the engine output, traveling condition, and the ATF temperature,
thus realizing smooth shift characteristics and optimizing the workload on the oil pump.

J E-SHIFT (U240E Automatic Transaxle)
1. GeneralThe E-Shift system allows the driver to manually shift the gears by operating the transmission shift switcheslocated on the steering wheel.
This enables the driver to shift the gears by operating the transmission shift switches located on the steeringwheel without taking the hands off the steering wheel, thus minimizing the amount of time required to shiftgears, provided that the floor shift lever is engaged in the M position.The gear position that has been selected by operating the transmission shift switch is fixed, it enables a manualshift-like feel. However, when the vehicle is brought to a stop, it automatically down-shifts to the 1st gear.
2. Construction
Transmission Shift Switch
The transmission shift switches for down-shift are located on the top side of the steering wheel and the trans-mission shift switches for up-shift are located on the back side of the steering wheel.
