Integrated control module for a dual clutch transmission

An integrated control module for a dual clutch transmission, said module comprising:

• a valve body having an inlet and a plurality of outlets with a plurality of internal hydraulic passages disposed therebetween, said inlet in fluid communication with a source of pressurized hydraulic fluid, said valve body further including a plurality of raised portions;
• a shift actuation control assembly including a plurality of shift actuators defined by a plurality of actuator piston bores formed in said plurality of raised portions in said valve body, and a plurality of actuator pistons that are slidingly disposed within said bores that are adapted to actuate the synchronizers of the transmission;
• a clutch actuation control assembly having clutch actuation circuits for each clutch and adapted to allow the selective and independent engagement and disengagement of each clutch;
• a clutch cooling fluid control assembly adapted to control the cooling fluid provided to the clutches of the transmission;
• and
• a transmission control assembly that is mounted to said valve body and in electrical communication with said shift actuation control assembly, with said clutch actuation control assembly, with said clutch cooling fluid control assembly, and with a higher level vehicle control system, said transmission control assembly adapted to be operatively responsive to the higher level control system to provide the requisite control signals to said control assemblies control the operative functions of the dual clutch transmission.
