Design and function
The 8-speed automatic gearbox in the Amarok
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 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.

Emergency running properties |
The 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. |

Selector lever cable
S507_008
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 |
Electric functions |
- Operation of the parking lock |
- Ignition key removal lock |

- Operation of the gear sensor in the gearbox |
- Tiptronic function |
|
- Selector lever lock (P/N lock) |

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.

S507_010
Selector lever lock solenoid N110
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.
For more information about the selector lever lock solenoid, refer to SSP 454, pages 8 and 9.

from being removed when the parking lock is not |

locked in "P" by the selector lever switch F319. |

When switch F319 is closed, the solenoid for the |

|
|
presses the locking pin against the spring force into |

the locking position. In the locking position, the |

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.

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.
