Cadillac Automatic Transmissions Catalog

It is always much easier to drive an automatic transmission than a manual transmission. The reason is because in an automatic transmission one does not have to use a clutch pedal or gearshift lever. However, an automatic transmission does not work all by itself. Cadillac automatic transmissions commonly use three to five forward gears to blend speed and torque. The first gear delivers maximum torque and minimum speed for starting. The last gear allows maximum speed with minimum torque. With the help of a reverse gear backward movement is negotiated.

The Cadillac automatic transmission is made up of many components and systems. These are all designed in such a manner so that they work together in a synchronized manner. The components of the Cadillac automatic transmission are the hydraulic system, planetary gear sets, seals and gaskets, torque converter, the governor and the modulator and in some cases the computer.

In the Cadillac automatic transmission, the gears are never physically moved and are always engaged to the same gears. This is achieved by the use of the planetary gear sets. The torque converter uses oil or transmission fluid and allows the engine to continue running when the vehicle comes to a stop. Mounted between the engine and the transmission, it is composed of three internal elements that work together to transmit power to the transmission. The pump, the turbine, and the stator make the three elements of the torque converter. The hydraulic system consists of passages and tubes which perform the function of sending the transmission fluid under pressure to all parts of the transmission and the torque converter. The transmission fluid helps in shift control, general lubrication and transmission cooling. With the aid of sensors on the engine and transmission the computer is able to detect certain things. These are throttle position, vehicle speed, engine speed, engine load, brake pedal position, etc. to control exact shift points. The Governor, Vacuum Modulator and Throttle Cable are the important components in the case of non-computerized automatic transmissions. The seals and gaskets control the flow of hydraulic fluid to keep it from leaking out in the Cadillac automatic transmission.

In Cadillac rebuilt automatic transmissions parts with friction surfaces along with all seals and gaskets are replaced. The torque converter too, is replaced with a remanufactured one. All parts are inspected for wear and damage. Depending on the condition they are either cleaned in a special cleaning solution or replaced.
