3-4 Accumulator
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 13 other vehicles, including the 2006 Saturn Relay, 2006 Pontiac Montana SV6, 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix, 2006 Pontiac G6, and 2006 Chevrolet Uplander. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
4th clutch fluid is also routed to the 3-4 accumulator piston. 4th clutch fluid pressure moves the piston against spring force and 3-4 accumulator feed fluid pressure. This action absorbs initial 4th clutch fluid pressure to cushion the 4th clutch apply. The movement of the 3-4 accumulator piston forces some accumulator fluid out of the accumulator.
