Fourth Gear Hydraulically Prevented

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.

Manual Valve 

The manual valve moves into the Manual Third (3) position and line pressure enters the D321 fluid circuit. Also the manual valve blocks line pressure from the PRND4 fluid circuit and the PRND4 fluid exhausts past the manual valve.

3-4 Shift Valve 

D321 fluid pressure assists a spring force in order to keep the valve in the Third gear position under any conditions. this opens the Forth band fluid circuit to an orificed exhaust and the Intermediate and Fourth band releases, thereby preventing Fourth gear.

A/T Fluid Pressure Manual Valve Position Switch (TFP Val. Position Sw.) Assembly 

PRND4 fluid exhausts from the TFP Val. Position Sw. Assembly, which signals to the PCM that the manual valve is in the Manual Third position.
