Abstract
An automatic transmission includes a casing housing a transmission mechanism and having a wall with a through-hole. A first plurality of electronic components is mounted exterior to the casing and a second plurality of electronic components is mounted on the interior of the casing. A sealed wire terminal is mounted in and closes the through-hole 21. An electronic control unit is mounted in the sealed wire terminal 22 and cables electrically connect the electronic control unit to the first and second pluralities of electronic components. The sealed wire terminal includes a seal member supporting the cables and sealing the through-hole. Thus, the automatic transmission and the electronic control unit can be combined before mounting on a vehicle.
