SUPER SEELECT 4WD Drive System
In 1991, Mitsubishi Motors has developed the famous Super Select 4WD multi-mode transmission for PAJERO generation. Since 1993 (almost 10 years), the Super Select transmission proves its reliability in the most severe conditions of Rally raids "Paris-Dakar", in which the legendary Pajero became 7 times the absolute winner.
"Super Select" is translated as a "simple choice". Indeed, with the help of one click on the dispensing arm lever, you can turn on one of 3 transmission modes (rear-wheel drive, four-wheel drive, four-wheel drive with a blocked inter-axis differential), adapting it to any roads and off-road. With a stop, you can enable downstream transmission, fully mobilizing off-road transmission capabilities
SUPER SELECT 4WD Transmission Modes
Road type indicator
Modes mode / application

2H rear drive mode
Used on dry roads with a solid coating, ensures economy of fuel and eliminates the effect of insufficient turning of all-wheel drive transmissions (reduces the effort on the steering wheel)
At a speed of up to 100 km / h with the front wheels, they are rotated strictly straight and the accelerator's pedal released can switch to 4H mode (reverse switching - at any speed).

4H full drive mode
Used on slippery roads, with strong lateral wind. Provides better course stability and active safety due to better tire clips with expensive.
Switching to 2H or 4HLC modes at a speed of up to 100 km / h with straight front wheels and the accelerator pedal released (reverse switching - at any speed).

4HLC Full Drive Mode with Blocked Inter-Source Differential
Improves the permeability on slippery, snow-covered roads or when driving on dirt.
Switching to 2H or 4H modes at a speed of up to 100 km / h with straight front wheels and the accelerator pedal released (reverse switching - at any speed).

2LLC Full Drive Mode with Blocked Intershev Differential and Down Transfer
In 2000, Mitsubishi Motors applied to Pajero-III to the second generation SUPER SELECT 4WD transmission.

SUPER SELECT 4WD-II transmission elements (2000) Pajero-III Asymmetric inter-system differential Super SELECT 4WD-II
It has become more perfect due to the asymmetrical inter-axis differential, distributing the torque between the front and rear wheels in relation to 33:67 under normal conditions of movement (dry road). This made it possible to reduce the effect of insufficient turning, characteristic of all-wheel drive transmissions of SUVs (increased effort on the steering wheel when input), facilitating control. When slipping the wheels of the Viscounts automatically blocks the inter-axis differential (the distribution of torque 50:50), improving the cargo of the car and increasing the active safety on slippery roads. The dispensing box now received an electric servo, which made it possible to reduce the effort on the transmission mode selection lever. In addition, the "smart" electronic control gearbox will not enable incorrect mode that can damage the transmission.
Another feature of the SUPER SELECT 4WD-II transmission is a unique carbonistic trauma-safe drive shaft. With an accident, it "consists" in pre-programmed locations without damaging the interior of the car. In addition, such a shaft design allowed to reduce the mass of the car.
The main modes of ACPP
Modes without which no automatic transmission is required. Different concerns may differ in the notation but the essence is one.
P - selected with a long parking lot of the car. In this position, the range selection lever in the box is turned off all controls, and its output shaft of the blocked; Movement is impossible. Translate the lever to this position is permissible only at a complete stop.
Translation of the lever to position P while driving will lead to a breakdown of the gearbox!
In wide ranges of motorists, it is customary to call "Parking". This regime should be treated very carefully. Just undress for the rule.
If you stop on a steep fit or descent, to reduce the load on the elements of the parking mechanism, you must use the "handler". Tighten the handbrake before putting on the P, and take off the handbrake after switching from P to another mode.
Switching from the "Parking" mode is possible only when the button is pressed on the switch knob (we will call it the retainer) and the brake pedal is pressed.
R - reverse. Transfer the range selection lever in this position only with a fixed car. The translation of the lever into this position in the farm movement can lead to the failure of the gearbox and other transmission elements!
Translate automatic transmission to this mode, you can also only press the lock and squeezed brake pedal. After selecting this mode, the movement can not be started immediately, and after the sensation of the transmission turn on the transmission, it usually occurs the limits of 1 second.
N - corresponds to neutral. In the gearbox, all controls are turned off, which ensures the absence of a rigid kinematic connection between its leading and slave shaft. The output shaft lock mechanism is turned off, i.e. The car can move freely. It is not recommended to transfer the range of the range to position N when driving (inertia)
During the discussion of the use of this regime, there will always be arguments about its purpose among car owners. Operating instructions All as one do not recommend using it during the movement of the car, be sure, the use of n when driving down, does not lead to fuel economy, rather, on the contrary, Japanese cars will be able to erase fuel more in the case of engine braking than just in neutral mode Idling. Also, many are not advised to translate automatic transmission to this mode when parking on traffic lights. During the translation to N mode, there is some facilitating the load on the elements of the transmission, but whether it is normal, because the transfer to another mode will be inevitably, and this will return everything to its place.
Translate the car to N mode only when you need to have a working car and at the same time freely move it. For example, when repaired and adjustments, measurement of the liquid in the automatic transmission, the repair of the chassis, etc.
D - the main mode of movement. It provides automatic switching from the first to third / fourth transmission. In normal conditions, it is recommended to use it.
When you go to this mode from the P or R mode, you must click on the brake and the retainer on the handle, wait for the moment of turning on the transmission (usually less than 1 second), only then start moving.
The maximum speed of the car can develop only in this mode of operation of the automatic transmission
In this mode, your automatic transmission operates as 3 or 4 speed, depending on the state of the OD- "OVER Drive" button, which is located under the lock on the switching knob, if "OD-OFF" is pressed - 3 steps, if "OD-ON" is pressed , then, respectively, 4 steps. If the OD buttons are not the automatic transmission 3 speed.
2 - Allowed movement only on the first and second gears. It is recommended to use, for example, on winding mountain roads. Switching to the fourth and third gear is prohibited. On this range, the braking mode is efficiently used.
Use this mode when moving in a bad road or a road with a bad coating, with often alternating not larger descents and lines. If you have often to slow down on a bad road or descent, the use of the engine braking mode, consolidating with conventional brakes, saves fuel significantly.
The mode has limitations for its use at speeds of the vehicle more than 80-100 km / h (depending on the type of automatic transmission)
Also, do not move to this mode from the mode D, at the speed of movement greater than 80-100 km / h (depends on the type of automatic transmission)
L - Allowed movement only on the first gear. This mode allows you to maximize the engine braking mode. It is recommended on steep descents, races, off-road.
Mode to overcome steep descents and lifts, and where there is no need to participate to transmit except first, for example, pulling out the stuck car, check-in in the garage, when overcoming the attacks or steps.
The mode has an even more limited range of speed of speed than 2, it is not possible to turn on without pressing the retainer.
OD (OVER DRIVE) - permission to use the fourth, enhancement, transmission is carried out using a special "OD" button located on the shift lever. If it is in a recessed position and the range selection lever is in position d, the switching to the increases is allowed. Otherwise, the inclusion of the fourth increases is prohibited. The status of the control system in this case is reflected using the "O / D OFF" indicator on the instrument panel.
In essence, "Over Drive" is 4 transmission of automatic transmission and how to use it. If the automatic transmission is seen that it often switches the transmissions from 3-4-3, then this mode is better to turn off. With this phenomenon, you can encounter if your high-speed mode is not permanent and ranges from 60-80 km / h, or you climb a tightening subsidence. For example, hovering the mountain range The car lacks 4 transmission and should switch to 3, after a short overclocking, it turns on 4 transmissions again and passing the tens of meters again, switching to 3. In this case, of course, you should refuse OD, and press the button to gear selector.
OD good tool for fuel economy if you go down from the protracted ridge if you turn off OD, then you will generally brake the car brake, since the speed of the car will be within 80 km / h, i.e. The engine braking occurs (at the time of braking the engine, the fuel supply to the cylinders is reduced to no).
If there is an opportunity to move at a speed of 60 km / h and more, then it is necessary to use the OD mode, it will also lead to fuel economy and that most importantly will allow you to move faster and achieve maximum speed if you are not afraid of this time.
On the PAJERO IO 1998 model in the cabin there is a memo plate

Which says that:

2H (2wd) - on a dry road
4H (4WD visco-coupling) - on a wet road
4HLC (Blocked Differential 4WD) - Snow, Dirt
4LLC (reduced, blocked differential 4WD) - on difficult terrain
Comment:
1. Switching is possible to a speed of 100km / h
2. If the machine stopped, then switch from position n (neutral)
3. Switching 4HLC modes in 4LLC and is only possible in the full stop of the car.
On the handle of switching "Distribution" there is a little noticeable inscription Press (click). Most likely, when switching from 4HLC to 4LLC, you need to press the handle down. See Foto on the left.

D Avno is known: Mitsubishi is great for crossovers. It is Outlander and ASX that the Russian hit parade of the "diamond" models are headed. But when it comes to real "passing" for work or male entertainment, we call on the service of other fighters: L200, Pajero Sport, Pajero. Their samurai weapons - not only and not so much clearance (in the backrest of abdominal space "Parquet" Outlander goes over with stock "Elechka" and Pajero Sport). And generally not geometry. Source SUPER SELECT 4WD is a source of force for this Trinity - one of the most capable and honest full drive systems. To felt the limits of its capabilities and compare the transmissions of different generations, we went to the foothills of the Urals.

If the men are scattering a dispute about what car is the most passable, run behind popcorn. And better just run. Spray with emotions, can and move in the field - "Palky to straighten". The winner of the duel - honor and respect, seconds - a shovel in hand. There are no ideal all-terrain vehicles. In particular, now, when the manufacturers are slowly Maleglye to remove their museses on the asphalt under the sauce that a modern man leaves him completely occasionally and exclusively in stupidity.

"Even if the sword is needed once in life, you always need to wear."
(Japanese folk proverb)

Some companies refuse the central differential in favor of a multid-wide clutch - this fate has suffered, for example, Toyota Highlander. Others save on manual locks, charging this work ESP or a body of "self-block" with a meager coefficient - try to leave "Diagonal" on Chevrolet Tahoe or TrailBlazer! Looking around, you understand that in real universal SUVs with three differentials, with forced locks (at least two - the front is rigidly blocked only from Gelaendewagen), with a two-stage distribution, with the right corners and clearance remained from time and a half dozen. Including premium. And there are two extremes that can be denoted as "man manipulates technician" and "technique manipulates man." Here in Land Rover, they judged that to control the pneumatic and demultitator, "clamp" and "dissolve" differentials, thoughtfully work with a traction and brakes - classes, unworthy gentleman. Its role comes down to select the program, the most appropriate landscape outside the window, and specify the direction of the steering wheel, reappears on the automation. Just, cool ... and somehow restlessly: too much depends on the testimony of sensors and algorithms embedded in the control blocks. And it costs all this household of considerable money.

"Learn my whole life diligently. You must become skill with each day. Perfection does not know the limit "
(Naoshig, 1537-1619

A completely different philosophy adhere to the constructors of Mitsubishi. For 15 years of its existence, the SUPER SELECT 4WD system was updated only twice - and not that radically. She does not know how to maintain a small way of off-road, will not display a useless quarreer and a chumase picture from cameras of a circular review. Specials for grass, dirt, stony terrain? What more. Here is the rope lever, here's a back lock key - Bet! We do not judge, which approach is more correct. You can decide that you personally come closer. Someone does not have a coffee machine with a single button, and someone serve a mill, a turko and a pinch of salt. "Supersell" - for those who can or want to learn how to cook. It is endowed with everything necessary, unobtrusive and deocratic enough.

For a start - a little theory.

SUPER SELECT 4WD. Appeared back in 1991. His highlight was that it was a disconnected all-wheel drive - not temporarily connected, like "Partyma" and construction with an inter-axis clutch, namely the differential 4x4 with the possibility of disconnecting the front axle from the dispensing box. Why do you need it? Formally - to save fuel. And there are lovers to pinch the gas: by paying for the "fullime" SUV, "as a gift" you get a rear-wheel drive station. The first version of the "Superselk" could boast of a symmetrical central differential (the thrust was divided into the ratio of FIFTI FIFTI), which was blocked either by a viscous clutch or manually in the same proportion. Plus honest pneumatic blocking in the back bridge and the reduced row is true, with a low gear ratio of 1: 1.9.

Second version Super SELECT, which took place in 1999 by Pajero III and moved in 2006 on Pajero IV, works on the same scheme with the only weighty difference: the asymmetrical inter-axis differential distributes the torque not equally, but with an emphasis on the rear axle. It goes 67% traction, 33% - ahead. So the Japanese tried to deal with insufficient turning. The rest of the toolkit is the same. Blocking the "Center" can be "soft" when the difference occurs in the speeds of rotation of the cardanov and the viscous food for a while fixes the parity along the axes, and the "tough", including the driver itself. In the latter case, the coupling does not participate in the process, the axes are rigidly connected. This mode is for a slippery or loose surface: on a solid road due to the difference in the angular velocities of rotation of the wheel, the car refuses to rotate, suffer from loads in the transmission, "approach" rubber. In general, behaves like a car with a regular part-time. The ratio of direct and reduced transmission has not changed - 1: 1.9, the rear differential saved the locking mechanism.

Reach the fruits of selection selectors "Supersell". On the left - the first-generation transmission control point (main carriers - Pajero II, Pajero Sport II and L200 fourth generation). Here the modes switches mechanically using a colorful lever. A little not to get confused in a winding slot - you need to "get" into mode. And the vibrating knobs sitting on the navigator site quickly disappear to arrange legs. Pajero III and IV together with the transmission of the second generation were awarded an electric actuator (central photo). Let you do not deceive the lever, with a distribution it is connected only by wires. Well, the top of evolution - a crying glossy swivel "tablet" of the new L200, which saved the place on the console

Finally, in 2015, the new L200 made his debut "Second and a half" generation The famous drive - upgraded Super Select 4WD II. The next recipient will be Pajero Sport III, which will go on sale closer to autumn. And here the amendments were serious. If on older models, including Pajero 2015 model year, the blocking of the central differential is triggered solely due to the difference of rotational speeds, the "Superior and Augmented" Super Select suggests a worm-type node with a Torsen lock mechanism that is also sensitive to the difference in the difference. Trucks on the rear axle goes less than that of Pajero (60%), the inclusion mechanism is now more advanced, planetary, and most importantly - gear ratio is brought to 2.566. It should help the pickup of more cheerful to pull on small revolutions.

Unlike a manipulator that controls the distribution, the simple and visual indication of the modes on the instrument panel did not change the time of the century. With green or yellow, the wheels are indicated, which is currently distributed, inexplicated rectangle and the circle symbolize free differentials. In the "locked" state, they are burning, while switching on or off locks - blink 2H: Highway mode for dry and smooth coatings. The torque is transmitted only to the rear wheels. Not recommended for riding in the rain or snow 4H: The most universal "road" position. The traction goes to all four wheels in proportion, which depends on the Super Select version (33:67, 40:60 or 50:50). In case of slippage of one of the axes, automatic locking is triggered 4HLC: "Center" is blocked. On the asphalt, it is not worth riding, but in the sand, dirt, snow - a cute matter. Starting from this mode, you can activate the blocking of the rear inter-track differential 4LLC: Same as 4HLC, but with a downstream enabled. Suitable for swimming in deep dirt, powerful snowdrifts, steep lifts, pulling stuck cars - when the increased resistance should be overcome. The transition to 4LLC deactivates the system of course stability, and if you also block the rear axle (extreme right picture), "fall asleep" the anti-test system and ABS

"The first snow of winter.
Bodies freeze in the field.
Traces of battles ... "

(Samurai death poems)

To smoothly move from the theory to practice, it will help us a pretty, but, alas, a frozen quarry. Under the wheels - a mix of uneven soil, stones and snow. PAJERO with PAJEROs stand on the slope in the "asphalt" configuration of 4H - let the viscous food work, and we are trying to move. Hr-Pysh Pysh-Tr-Rr! Shamlons of the brakes, shooting from the harmfulness by cobblestones and pouring the wheels on the tidy (so indicates itself the stabilizing and anti-skid electronics), "Pagejik" slowly caught and crawled. Height taken.

Now - the same, but performed by fresh L200 with the upgraded Super Select 2. Start the pickup in the same place, the gas ... went! And much more confident. It can be argued that these experiments are naive: cars are completely different. Indeed, SUVs differ from each other with the characteristics of the power unit, mass and weighing, rubber, the settings of the anti-test system, finally, the start point is at least a bit different. Everything is so, but we repeated the races several times, and each climb brought points the most recent version of the "Supersell". Automatic locking of the "Center" with the Torsen mechanism is clearly milking. Or maybe, more precisely, the "smarter" is triggered by the anti-slip - for us, users, the difference is not so great.

"If you were born in the warrior's house, then here is your fate: two swords are long and short - and death"
(Kato Kiyomas, 1562-1611)

Reverse focus - overcoming a steep descent - requires attention and exposure. Mitsubishi SUVs are so harsh and old whales that have not yet acquired the most common Hill Descent Control system, which even the parquetniks are equipped in our time. Such an assistant will be the first to receive Pajero Sport III, while its substitute with a complex name of Mebac (Mitsubishi Engine Brake Assist Control) can boast except Pajero. The stated "help in braking engine" is to maintain a low speed on a slope, determine which wheel "slipped", and maintain a course of selective brackets. The system only works when the reduced row is activated, the first stage is turned on in the box, and the brake pedal is released. We do everything according to the book: "Redeyaka", the ACP lever is right - the digit "1" is lit on the tidy. Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Pajero thus rushed down that the foot reflexively pressed the brake. Probably, on a direct and long descent, everything would have worked as it should, we have no time on the experiments: the track goes down and right. In order to wait until electronic insurers are spooled, you need steel, like Pajero itself, nerves.

The main off-road mode that is worth the first thing to include, by moving with a solid surface, - 4HLC. At first it may seem that your "tank" is perfectly rushing and 4h, but it is before the first serious slip. Block the "Center" - reasonable precaution. First, all the time will work at least one front and one rear wheel. Yes, the coupling in any case will answer the slip, redesigning the craving between the axes, that's just the automatic lock does not work instantly - there is a danger to get up and break. Secondly, in 4HLC, the torque does not walk there and here, making the car, then less rear-wheel drive. Everything is evenly predictable. Let's say the crazy thing: with a constantly blocked differential car, more and more stable during fast driving on a slippery road - provided that the trajectory is more or less straightforward. If a steep turn is ahead, it is better to "relax" a differential in advance - otherwise the car will stubborn at the entrance and strives to float out.

Compare "Supersells" in the firing of dirt or snowdrifts according to the most thresholds: the hostess of the copper mountain did not send us with his colleagues, nor the other. However, I have no doubt: additional traction on the bottoms, which the L200 received due to the downstream transmission with a number of 2.566, went to the pickup. But Pajero Fora do nothing: he and with his 1: 1.9 Laho sorrows in the 4LLC mode. Even if the hood is 3.0-liter gasoline 6G72, in which only 178 liters. from. With diagonal hanging, all three models are coping with the play, and the rear differential can be left free: it works the imitation of locks. True, to jumped out of the cabin, it is necessary to gas: the anti-boss wakes up on medium turnover and holds unloaded wheels. The ASTC system that combines the stabilizing and anti-slip function, actually with character: in ordinary life can "strangle" the motor in the most responsible moment, substituting under the transverse stream when traveling to the main road. It is not completely calm it neither by the button at the wheel, nor the selector translation in 4LLC (in this case only the stabilizing part is turned off). "Collar" is finally removed only with the blocking of the rear differential.

Super Select, perhaps, have all the necessary weapons - it is only necessary to remember that an experienced off-road warrior is not thrown into the head of the attack, but is an offensive plan. Do not be lazy to walk, integrate the relief, decide on the tactic and remembers the rule: "Everything that may need, turn in advance by leaving the reserve for the departure case." The keyword is "in advance." Here it is worth printing with arral letters on the driver's visor! Once - another, being trapped with flashing lamps of locks, you come to understand that it was necessary to think on two hundred meters ahead. On the already stuck car, the servo drives are triggered with varying success - especially if you stand around and so (and so it usually happens). Let's say you forgot about "Redeyaka". It seems of a polework: a box in n, the cutter lever forward ... and nothing! Know myself winks - acknowledged a mute reproach to human. The instruction teaches that you need to again translate the selector for increased gear, drive a little and try again. And what if there are no places for maneuvers? The same awkwardness periodically occurs with the rear "block". It seems like a compressor had to work for a long time, the last three seconds passed, and the circle does not light up. "Treatment" is prescribed similar: move a few meters forward or backward, as a last resort, it is slightly overgrown. The right word is better to hide.

"The strategist should see distant things as if close to, and close - as if from afar"
(Miyamoto Musasi, 1584-1645)

The official website of Mitsubishi calls Super Select "unique in its kind", but it is not quite so. Other cars are able to disconnect the front axle - for example, equipped with Selec-Trac "jeeps" transmissia. At the same time, having studied the nuances of the "Supersell", penetrate it with directness and honesty. He does not decide anything for a person, but just gives a choice - and rich. This thought is encrypted in the name of the system.

Well, the last, in the current economic realities just a reinforced concrete argument. Even taking into account all the recent approximations of Super SELECT remains the fiscal transmission in its class. The previous "elk" with a constant full-wheel drive, if you are lucky, can still be found for 1 329,990 rubles, Pajero Sport is counting from 1,689,000, the new L200 starts from 1 829 990, Pajero is given for 1,939,000. The only one, in essence, , Alternative to competitors - Toyota Land Cruiser Prado with "minimal" in 1,890,000 rubles. VW Touareg last year of release, even with a basic drive of 4Motion pulls on 2,305,000, LR Discovery - and at all by 3,535,000. All of course, and more modern, and more comfortable. But for those who are looking for a reliable and functional tool, considering money, the same Pajero Sport II is uniquely an option for consideration. Rusty? Not without But remember that Japanese wisdom says:

"The samurai will first go to remain warrior. Excessive decoration and wastefulness deserve censure "
(Kato Kiyomas, 1562-1611)

Mitsubishi Representative Office in Russia organized a beautiful and thematic off-road Event "School of Off-Road Ninja" on the route Chelyabinsk - Ufa on Mitsubishi Pajero, Pajero Sport and new L200 pickles.

Mitsubishi Super Select 4WD

The Super Select 4WD system allows you to use the drive to rear wheels and a four-wheel drive for any road conditions during an unlimited time. For severe conditions, the inter-axis differential and reduced range of transmissions is provided.

Systems of other brands offer a plug-in full drive (part-time or on demand) or permanent four-wheel drive. The connected does not provide for driving on dry and solid surfaces for a long time. The constant does not allow to turn off the front axle and go to the back at good road conditions.

Fuel economy when the front axle is turned off does not exceed one liter per hundred and it is not so important for vehicles with a constant full-wheel drive. But the ability to constantly ride is not available for versions with a plug-in full.

Mitsubishi decided to provide the user with all possible options and created Super Select 4WD. Today the third version of the system comes to the market. More precisely, generation 2+.

The first generation of the Super Select 4WD system appeared on Mitsubishi Pajero II and was installed on the Pajero Sport and L200 model to the present.

In the first generation of the SUPER SELECT 4WD system for the inter-axis lock in position 4H, the Viscounts are used, and the reduced transmission of the dispensing is carried out using a two-chart.

The second generation of Super SELECT 4WD was installed on Pajero III and is installed so far on Pajero IV.

The main difference between the second generation of the system is the asymmetric four-wheel drive distribution torque between the axes in the proportion of 33:67. In addition, the switching of modes is carried out by a lever, but not mechanically, but using an electric drive.

It so happened that the upgraded second generation of the Super Select 4WD system did not become the third, but no longer corresponds to the second generation. Official representatives of Mitsubishi call him "the second modernized", but I like the "generation 2+".

Generation 2+ is seriously different from the second generation system.

First of all, the transfer box lost the second (reduced) shaft and began to be based on the same shaft. That is, the torque is transmitted through one shaft, but with the help of different gears. This is a more progressive and technological approach.

In 2H mode, the system transmits torque completely to the rear wheels.

Switching between the full drive modes is made from the cabin using the selector washer. The rope lever from the salon disappeared forever.

In the 4HLC mode, the torque is distributed in the proportion of 50:50, and the inter-semicircle differential is rigidly blocked similarly to the previous versions of the system.

The second upgraded generation of the Super Select 4WD system is installed on the new Mitsubishi L200 (V) and the new Pajero Sport (III).

Practical exercises

We managed to experience all the charms of the full drive system Mitsubishi Super SELECT on the first "special search" near the city of Chelyabinsk. Agency "Drive Event" in collaboration with Chelyabinsk jeepers, headed by Evgeny Shatalov, arranged a small polygon in a career.

Those who were not familiar with Mitsubishi cars, the plant entertainment clearly benefited. Obstacles though were charged under the geometry of cars, but were quite an interesting offrooud.

We, too, gladly ride on different cars, but did it rather from the desire to compare different systems. In terms of IFFRODA, we recently tested the new Pickup L200 on real off-road and the car showed everything that he was capable of.

At the point with slippery descent, an excellent opportunity to compare the operation of all generations of systems and confirm the conclusions from the L200 tests. The automatic box does not know how to slow down on the descent of the engine and cars simply need a system for descent. But the mechanic coped with the descent with a bang.

Compare the operation of transmission modes was interesting and on a platform with diagonal hanging. Subjectively with a diagonal without connecting the locks, Pajero copes. Behind him is Pajero Sport and Pickup L200 in the tail, even with a new generation system. There is a thought that the role of the weight distribution of the car through the axes has played.

After a night in the National Park, Zyuratkul nominated in the direction of Ufa. The road book contained a visit to the river ah and famous thresholds. Off-road entertainment was guaranteed hardly it became clear that all the minor roads were covered with ice crust and in addition he began snowing.

Our crew on the voting decided to leave the route with the laid and call the city of Satka. The town is famous for its unusual decorations in the form of an Acid-Green An-2 aircraft, nude girls on the motorcycles and of course the monument to Stalin. So thinks most visits ...

In fact, near the railway station and the cast iron plant, a monument is not to Stalin, but Sergo Ordzhonikidze, who came to the city more than once. Driving past to visit the city is required, the pleasure of contemplation of unusual beauty is guaranteed to you.

Super Select.

In transmissions with Super Select there are three differentials: between the front wheels, the inter-axis in the distribution and between the rear wheels, in the bridge. Super SELECT implements two types of full drive: with a free inter-sieve differential (in the distribution) and with a blocked inter-axis differential (when the transmission operates in an all-wheel drive mode, similar to the full drive in Easy Select).

In the SUPER SELECT transmission in the inter-axis (in distribution), the differential is used by the Viscounts. Viscounts received its name from Lat. Viscosus is viscous, from which it follows that in its work this node uses fluid properties. The one is used in the transmission consists of the following main elements: a cylindrical body inside which disks are sitting on the slots, and the shaft on which the second half of the disk package is also planted on the slots. Discs have channels and holes that increase the viscosity friction of the fluid. To work this package of discs, the housing is 80-90% filled with silicone (silicone) fluid, which has a high viscosity.
Before the Viscounts, the task is to transfer the torque summing to it due to the internal friction in the fluid located between the discs. When their speeds are the same, the coupling transmits a small part of the effort (5-7%). When the slave drives are lagging behind, the fluid is mixed, its temperature grows, it expands and compresses the air. When it is almost completely compressed, the pressure in the clutch increases sharply, which causes axial movement of discs on the slots to their mechanical contact. As a result, the rotation is transmitted due to mechanical friction, temperature and, accordingly, fluid pressure is gradually decreasing, the discs come out of mechanical contact. The transmitted moment depends on the characteristics of the coupling and on the difference of speeds of rotation of its shafts.

The Viscouft does not redistribute the moment, it can only partially block the diph. In L-200 Super SELECT there is a super-select system "A first generation, a differential symmetric, the distribution of the moment between the axes at the" free "dife 50x50.

But what is this intersecting differential need?

On serious (correct) SUVs, the test moment from the checkpoint to the leading bridges is transmitted using a transfer box (dispensing). It is mounted to the checkpoint or separately (on the Niva). There are several shafts in the distribution: the presenter that is attached to the checkpoint and the slaves that are attached to the rear and front cardane. In the rear drive mode, the "2-H" gear of the drive shaft is in engaging with the gear of the slave shaft connected to the rear card. Cardan rotates the rear wheels, the car rides on the rear drive.
We translate the lever to the "4-H" position. Now the shaft was connected to the shaft, leading to the movement of the front cardan and the front wheels began to rotate. The car has become all-wheel drive. The shafts connected to the front and rear cardans are rigidly interconnected and always rotate at the same speed. Thus, the front and rear wheels are also rotating at the same speed, which is not very good when turning the car on the road with a solid coating, because during rotation the front wheels pass a longer way than the rear. In order to level the speed of rotation, rear wheels have to slip, which leads to unnecessary wear of rubber and additional transmission loads. This is done a four-wheel drive with dispensing without differential. This type of drive is called "Part Time" - for a short time. It is used in low-cost L-200 models, having a type of Izi-Select drive, as well as in L-200 Old. A symmetric inter-semicircular diff is installed in the L-200 transfer box L-200. The differential is called the transmission mechanism that distributes the engine torque between the driving wheels ("inter-wheel") and leading bridges ("inter-axis"). Now, when turning on the front drive, the shafts rotating the front and rear cardan are not rigidly connected between themselves and have the ability to rotate at different speeds. Thus, the front and rear wheels when the full drive is enabled can rotate at different speeds to rotate at different speeds without loading the transmission.

And why this is this Viscounts? What does she give?

Symmetrical dip always striving to equalize the torque between the axes. Sometimes the machine falls into such a position that under the wheels of one axis solid coating, and the other wheels are weak soil. Wheels on a weak ground are beginning to rotate with a greater speed than solid, speaking by simple - dropping. As a result, the torque on the sinking axis decreases. Diff seeks to align the torque by reducing it on the axis, the wheels of which rotate at a lower speed, i.e. standing on solid ground. As a result, the moment may occur when the car will rise due to the insufficient total magnitude of the torque necessary for its translational movement. Viscounts just neutralize this "harmful" property of the DIFA to share the moment in half. It will create conditions under which to the axis (wheels) on the solid coating will be caused by a greater torque than to the axis located on the weak soil (buxying). As a result, the magnitude of the total torque of the wheels of the axes increases and the car continues to move.

And nafiga is needed forced blocking of the mid-scene diff, the Viscounts of Che, little?

Yes, little. The fact is that the Viscounts cannot block the diff for a long time, it does not connect the "hard" crushing shafts. If you are in the position "4-N" for a long time digging by wheels, the Viscounts can overload and fail. Her main goal is to help the driver that I worked as the ears and before passing an ambush place, did not pre-block the diph. The coupling will give him a chance to slip this place. But if the butted place was greatly stretched in length, it is necessary to block the diph in advance. When it locks, the shafts in the distribution will be rigidly interconnected similar to the "Part-Time" or "Izi-Select" system.

If I burned the Viscouft, then the car will become a monotrifer?

No, it will not. In the position "4-H" and the deceased gears of the gear, the Dif and the trees of the dispensing remained, the machine will remain all-wheel drive and will behave similarly to the SUV with an unlocked inter-axis diffusion and the FUL-Time system (Niva, TLK-100).

In the "4-H" mode, I can infinitely cut the circles on asphalt and will break anything in the transmission?

The Mitsubishi company selected by the company's full drive L200 is simple and reliable. It allows you to overcome significant obstacles and does not leave even when the cars equipped with a complete drive of another type are not affordable. The effectiveness of such structures is confirmed by victories in Rally Raida Paris - Dakar, during which the technique is subjected to the most severe tests.

Regardless of the type of gearbox - mechanics or automaton - popular pickups are equipped with a simplified (Easy SELECT) and more complex (Super Select) transmission. For the successful operation of the equipment, it is desirable to know its device. Having understood in the design of the full drive of Mitsubishi L200, having studied the principles of management and existing differences, drivers will be able to fully realize the possibilities of machines.

A simple and cheap version of execution that is accepted to denote the term "Part Time". Something similar is found on car brand UAZ. Key Features:

• the main is the rear axle, which torque is transmitted constantly;
• the inclusion / shutdown of the front bridge occurs due to the closure / opening of the coupling installed on one of the drive shafts;
• there is no inter-axis differential, which does not result in the redistribution of torque between axes.

Used on the Mitsubishi L200 of the Easy Select's full drive scheme is reliable and effective, but has two serious disadvantages. When it is connected, it is not allowed:

• long-term use on firm coating roads;
• movement at high speeds.

Violation of these rules is caused by the failure of differentials and couplings of control.

Super Select.

A similar option of equipping - it is customary to call "Full Time" - more complicated and, accordingly, more expensive. In general, repeating the concept of a complete Easy Select drive, it has one, but a very significant difference - an inter-axis differential is added to the dispensing box design, which is in a pair with a viscous coupling (viscous food). This allows, depending on the resulting load, redistribute torque between axes.

There is an opportunity to include a complete drive, for a long time to move on asphalt roads at a sufficiently high speed. This, on the one hand, significantly expands the operational capabilities of the technique, and on the other hand, imposes some restrictions on which we will talk in the future.

Driving control

It is with full-wheel drive that most common delusions cultivated by the owners of popular pickups are connected. We will try to dispel these errors.

The transmission of cars equipped with a drive Easy Select has three modes of operation.

1. 2h. The torque is transmitted to the rear wheels, and the transfer box works in the standard (boost) mode. Used when driving along the tracks with a solid coating in the entire speed range.
2. 4h. Included both bridges. As in the first case, an increased range of transmissions is used. It is allowed to use on parcels and, briefly, on a solid coating, at a speed of up to 100 km / h. Can be connected in motion.
3. 4L. The torque is transmitted to all wheels through a downstream transmission. Recommended for use only on off-road and at speed no higher than 60 km / h. The inclusion of the full drive on the L200 in this mode should occur after a complete stop of the machine. Otherwise, the transmission details may be seriously damaged.

On SUVs equipped with the Super Select system, four modes of operation of the transmission are provided. The first two are no different from those described above. But hereby there are differences, and very tangible.

• 4HLC. Torque is transmitted to all wheels through an increased range of transmissions. The inter-axis differential is blocked. Allows you to move on sightseeing roads at a speed not higher than 100 km / h. On the asphalt can only be involved briefly.
• 4LLC. Both bridges are activated through a reduced range of transmission boxes with a blocked inter-axis differential. The speed will have to limit, without accelerating faster 60 km / h. On solid coating can only be used in the most extreme case.

Despite the presence of the mid-sieve differential, switch to 4HLC and 4LLC modes is recommended only after stopping the car.

From the above, it becomes clear that the main advantages of Easy Select and Super SELECT systems are:

• constructive simplicity;
• reliability.
• efficiency on off-road.

The main disadvantage that cannot be eliminated even by refining and complicating the design, it remains the impossibility of operation of the machine with a connected full drive throughout the speed range.

Take note

The opinion that the redistribution of the torque between the bridges occurs solely due to the operation of the dispensing box, is incorrect. The main role is performed by a coupling placed on the front axle drive shaft. If it is faulty, then when the full drive of the L200 is turned on and the front drive shaft will work in a combat.

Learn the match and learn to exploit the car correctly. This will avoid unpleasant situations and unforeseen expenses. Remember that no automation will replace the off-road skillful and experienced driver.
