2-3 Accumulator

Direct clutch feed fluid is also routed to the 2-3 accumulator piston. This fluid pressure moves the piston against a combination of spring force and the 2-3 accumulator feed fluid pressure. This action absorbs the initial direct clutch fluid pressure in order to cushion the direct clutch apply. the movement of the 2-3 accumulator piston forces some of the fluid out of the accumulator.
