INTRODUCTION JEEP AW-4 ‘The AW-4 is a four speed, electronically controlled automatic transmission. Running gear consists of a lock-up converteroll pump:three planetary gear sets:clutch and brake units:hydraulle accumulators:a valve body with electric ‘Solenoids and a transmission computer unit (TCU). Cables are used for shifting ‘and throttle presaure control. A neutral safety switch permits engine starting in Park and Neutral range only. The valve body solenoids are controled by signal from the TCU. Signal sequence is determined by volicle speed and throttle position. Fourth gear is an 70:1 ratio overdrive range. First second,third and Feverse gear are conventional ranges. Third geer ratio is 1:1. A separate planetary ‘gear set provides overdrive operation in fourth gear.
