Abstract
A mechatronics control module (14) includes an electronic control unit (16) having a flex foil circuit (34) with a multiple of mounted electronic components including sensors (24) which sense the hydraulic state of the transmission clutch or other frictional engagement elements within the transmission system (10.) Multiple mounting arrangements are provided which increase the mounting area to provide for the mounting of the mechatronics control module (14) within the transmission case (12.)
