With a combustion engine, it is necessary to have a moving-off element that permits rotation speed differences
between the engine speed and drivelines speed. In contrast to manual gearboxes and increased gearboxes, a
converter operates with almost no wear, because the powerflow is only via the gearbox when moving off. The
advantages of the converter are thus its low wear and the fact that its design causes the torque to be boosted
beyond the engine torque. Specifically for the Amarok, the converter therefore represents the ideal moving-off
element, because the very low ratio and torque increase provide a significant improvement in off-road and towing
properties. This is in comparison to the Amarok with a manual gearbox, without step-down box. After the movingoff phase, the hydraulic slip of the converter is eliminated by the controlled lock-up clutch. This improves efficiency
significantly.

The automatic gearbox in the Amarok is a completely newly developed 8-speed automatic gearbox, in which the
greatest importance has been placed on efficiency, gearshift comfort and speed, low weight and reliability.
The gearshifts are performed without interruption in traction, and the gearshift speeds are at the level of a DSG.

Current testing, setting and repair instructions can
be found in the provided service literature.
The Amarok has a modular driveline in which the individual components such as automatic gearbox, front final
drive, transfer box and rear final drive are each independent modules. The drive combination designed especially
for the Amarok comprising permanent four-wheel drive and an automatic gearbox is configured for ideal traction
on any surface.
Connection of transfer box to automatic gearbox
Transfer box with self-locking centre differential and variable torque
distribution.
The ATF drain plug is located at the bottom of the oil pan made from sheet
steel. The ATF filler and inspection plug is located on the side of the housing
(ATF = Automatic Transmission Fluid).
The intermediate plate prevents dirt from getting in between the automatic
gearbox and the transfer box.

The transfer box
The design of the transfer box installed in the Amarok with a self-locking centre differential is based on the transfer
box in the Audi Q7 and the Touareg 2011. It has been adapted for use in the Amarok.

Emergency running propertiesThe emergency running and default programmes are state-of-the-art as far as
technical possibilities are concerned, meaning that a high level of operational
readiness is guaranteed even in the case of a fault. The hydro-mechanical
emergency mode, for example, allows the vehicle to continue to be driven in 6th
and reverse gear even if there is a total electrical failure of the mechatronic unit,
until the engine is switched off or the selector lever is moved to the "P" position.

The selector mechanism operates using the selector lever module. It has both a mechanical connection to the
automatic gearbox via a cable and an electrical connection to the gearbox control unit. The drive range is selected
by the cable. Only the special drive programmes Manual (tip) and S are sent to the gearbox control unit by the
selector lever electronic control unit by means of a modulated square-wave signal.
Functions of the cable connection
-Operation of the parking lock
-Operation of the selector slide of the hydraulic
control unit in the mechatronic unit
-Operation of the gear sensor in the gearbox
Electric functions
-Ignition key removal lock
-Activation of the selector lever position display (via
gearbox control unit)
-Tiptronic function
-Selector lever lock (P/N lock)

The selector lever actuation
The change from drive ranges D to S (or from S to D) is performed by tipping the selector lever backwards once out
of the D/S position. The selector lever always springs back into the D/S position. When the selector lever is tipped
back from the D/S position, the selector lever sensor unit J587 sends the tip signal to the gearbox control unit. In
response, the changeover to special gearshift programme S takes place, or back to driving program D. This makes
it possible to reach the Tiptronic gate both from the special gearshift programme S and from the normal driving
programme D.
(Special gearshift programme S - shift programme adapted for offroad driving)
Selector lever position display Y6
Information about the selector lever position comes
directly from the gearbox control unit as a modulated
square-wave signal. The selector lever sensor unit in the
selector lever evaluates the signal and activates the
corresponding light-emitting diode on the display unit
Y6.

Solenoid N110 blocks the selector lever in positions "P"
and "N". The solenoid is controlled by the gearbox
control unit. If the selector lever is in "P" in de-energised
condition (ignition off) then the locking pin is in the
locking pin trap "P". This prevents the selector lever from
moving automatically and stops the parking lock from
being unlocked.
After the ignition has been switched on and the brake
pedal is pressed then the gearbox control unit energises
the solenoid N110. This means the locking pin is
withdrawn from the locking pin trap "P". The selector
lever can now be moved into the drive position. Once the
selector lever has left position "P", the magnet is deenergised and unlocked. In driver range "N" it is
energised and locked.

The ignition key removal lock
N376
S507_013
The ignition key removal lock prevents the ignition key
from being removed when the parking lock is not
engaged. It functions electromechanically and is
locked in "P" by the selector lever switch F319.
When switch F319 is closed, the solenoid for the
ignition key removal lock N376 is energised and
presses the locking pin against the spring force into
the locking position. In the locking position, the
locking pin prevents the ignition key from being
removed.
The "selector lever locked in position P switch" does
not open until the selector lever is moved into the
park position, and the selector lever electronic control unit de-energises the solenoid. Following this, the locking pin
is pushed back by the compression spring. The ignition key can be turned further and withdrawn.

The selector lever emergency release
Mechanical emergency release makes it possible to
move the selector lever if the electrical power supply
fails.
The selector lever trim must be removed in order to
operate the emergency release for selector lever lock.
The emergency release lever is located on the right
side of the selector mechanism. When the emergency
release lever is operated, the locking pin of the
solenoid N110 is pushed against the spring force (see
Fig. S507_010, page 9).
The selector lever interlock button must be operated
at the same time in order to unlock the selector lever.

Towing
If it is necessary to tow a vehicle that is fitted with an 0CM gearbox then the usual restrictions for automatic
gearboxes must be observed:
-Engage selector lever position "N", which may require using the emergency release function of the selector
lever.
-Do not exceed the towing speed of 50 km/h.
-Do not exceed the maximum towing distance of 50 km.
The rear axle differential lock is not allowed to be engaged at any time during towing.
