Abstract
A controller for a motor vehicle with an automatic transmission is connected to sensors in the transmission and through a communications channel to an engine controller. A gear ratio is varied with actuators for actuating final control elements in the transmission. The transmission and the electronic transmission controller are constructed as an integrated complete system, which includes all of the mechanical, hydraulic and electronic transmission components. A plug forms a pressure and fluid-tight connection between the transmission and the transmission controller secured to a transmission housing.
