Lo fluid is directed through the 1-2 shift valve (318) into the Lo-1st fluid passage. Lo-1st fluid is sent to the pressure regulator valve (313) to boost line pressure and at the same time to the Lo blow off valve (407). The addition of Lo-1st fluid pressure increases the operating range of line pressure in Manual First.
