1-2 Accumulator Valve

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Pontiac Sunfire, 2004 Chevrolet Classic, and 2004 Chevrolet Cavalier. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The 1-2 accumulator feed fluid which is forced from the 1-2 accumulator unseats the #4 checkball. This fluid is then routed back to the 1-2 accumulator valve. This pressure forces the 1-2 accumulator valve against a combination of spring force and torque signal fluid pressure in order to regulate the exhaust of excess accumulator fluid. This regulation provides additional control for the second clutch apply.
