GENERAL DESCRIPTION

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

23A-4

TRANSMISSION

The transmission is made up of the torque converter and gear train. A 3-element, 1-stage, 2-phase torque 
converter with built-in torque converter clutch is used. The gear train is made up of four sets of multi-disc 
clutches, two sets of multi-plate brakes, one band type brake, two set of one-way clutches and three sets of 
planetary gears. The planetary gears are made up of sun gears, carriers, pinion gears and annulus gears.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

23A-7

ELECTRONICALLY-CONTROLLED SYSTEM

.

INVECS-II

• When in drive ("D" range), the new automatic transmission 

employs an innovative shift schedule to provide a high level 
of comfort and "easy driving style" that matches all driving 
conditions as well as the driver's driving style.

• INVECS-II features "Optimum Shift Control," which provides 

shift timing the average driver perceives to be the optimum 
timing under any road conditions. "Adaptive Shift Control" 
adjusts shift timing to match the driving habits and prefer-
ences of individual drivers.

.

INVECS-II Sports Mode Automatic Transmission

A further development of the INVECS-II automatic transmis-
sion, incorporating a sports mode that enables quasi-manual 
gear shifts. When the gear shift lever is pushed sideways fronm 
the "D" position to the sports mode position, the driver can use 
it to make gear selections manually. The sports mode has the 
following features. 

• In contrast to the automatic "D" range, the sports mode 

does not perform automatic upshifts. Thus, the engine can 
be driven fully into its red zone.

• For more rapid gear shifting, it is possible to shift directly 

from 4th gear to 2nd gear, therby skipping a gear.

• When the vehicle decelerates and stops, the system auto-

maticaly shifts down to 1st gear for conveinience when the 
vehicle starts moving again. Further, 2nd gear can be 
selected with the vehicle stationary, so standing starts can 
be made in 2nd gear on slippery surfaces.
