3-5-Reverse Clutch Applies
Manual Valve
With the manual valve in the reverse position, line pressure is directed into the reverse fluid circuit. Reverse fluid is then routed to the clutch select valve and to the default override valve.
Clutch Select Valve
Reverse fluid is routed to a differential area of the clutch select shuttle valve and assists shift solenoid fluid, present at the valve from Park position, in holding the clutch select valve against clutch select valve spring force. Reverse fluid passes through the clutch select valve into the 3-5 reverse clutch feed circuit and is routed to the #2 ball check valve. R1/4-5-6 clutch feed fluid, present at the valve from Park position, continues to pass through the valve into the R1 circuit in order to keep the low and reverse clutch applied.
#2 Ball Check Valve
3-5 reverse fluid seats the #2 ball check valve against the drive 1-6 fluid passage, and enters the 3-5 reverse/drive 1-6 circuit. 3-5 reverse/drive 1-6 fluid is routed to the #3 ball check valve.
#3 Ball Check Valve
3-5 reverse/drive 1-6 fluid unseats the #3 ball check valve and is routed to the 3-5-reverse clutch regulator valve.
3-5 R Pressure Control (PC) Solenoid
The 3-5 R PC solenoid is energized (ON), allowing actuator feed limit fluid to enter the PCS 3-5 reverse clutch fluid circuit. PCS 3-5 reverse clutch fluid is then routed through orifice #2-6 to the 3-5-reverse clutch regulator valve.
3-5-Reverse Clutch Regulator Valve
PCS 3-5 reverse clutch fluid, at the 3-5-reverse clutch regulator valve, opposes 3-5-reverse clutch regulator valve spring force and orificed 3-5 reverse clutch feedback fluid pressure to regulate 3-5 reverse clutch feed/drive 1-6 pressure into the 3-5 reverse clutch circuit. 3-5 reverse clutch fluid is then routed through orifice #25 to the 3-5-reverse clutch, and through orifice #33 to the #4 ball check valve.
3-5-Reverse Clutch
3-5 reverse clutch fluid enters the 3-5-reverse and 4-5-6 clutch housing assembly to move the 3-5-reverse clutch piston against spring force to apply the 3-5-reverse clutch plates.
#4 Ball Check Valve
3-5 reverse clutch feed fluid unseats the #4 ball check valve, allowing excess pressure to pass into the actuator feed limit circuit. This helps to control clutch apply fluid pressure and clutch apply feel.
Accumulator
PCS 3-5 reverse clutch fluid is also routed to an accumulator valve. The accumulator valve is used to dampen any pressure irregularities occurring in the PCS 3-5 reverse clutch fluid circuit. This helps to control clutch apply fluid pressure and clutch apply feel.
