WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Pontiac G5 Pursuit, 2007 Pontiac G5, and 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Line pressure is routed into the D21 fluid circuit when the selector lever is moved into the Manual Second (2) position. Line pressure continues to feed the D321 fluid circuit as in Manual Third.

2-3 Shift Solenoid Valve

The PCM de-energized the 2-3 shift solenoid valve when the vehicle operating conditions are appropriate for a 3-2 downshift. With the solenoid valve Off, a 2-3 signal fluid exhausts through the 2-3 shift solenoid valve.

2-3 Shift Valve

A spring force moves the 2-3 shift valve into the Second gear position when the 2-3 signal fluid exhausts. The D21 fluid continues through the valve and the fluid is also routed into the intermediate band feed fluid circuit. The 3-4 drive fluid, which feeds the direct clutch, exhausts past the 2-3 shift valve.
