Abstract

A transmission system comprising: a lubrication valve that fluidly couples a lubrication line in fluidic communication with a multi-disc wet clutch; a clutch line in fluidic communication with a clutch actuator of the multi-disc wet clutch and the lubrication valve; a clutch control valve fluidly coupled to the clutch line; and a controller configured to adjust a pressure of the clutch line to open and close the lubrication valve based on wet clutch temperature.
