Direct Clutch
The direct clutch fluid exhausts and the direct clutch releases.
#6 Checkball (Direct Clutch Release)
Exhausting direct clutch fluid seats the #6 checkball. This fluid is forced through the #25 orifice in order to help to control the direct clutch release.
2-3 Accumulator
Direct clutch feed fluid exhausts from the 2-3 accumulator, unseats the #5 checkball, and exhausts past the 2-3 shift valve. The 2-3 accumulator feed fluid fills the 2-3 accumulator as the direct clutch feed fluid exhausts.
