1-2 Accumulator

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Pontiac G5 and 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Second clutch fluid is also routed to the 1-2 accumulator piston. A combination of second clutch fluid pressure and the 1-2 assist spring force moves the piston against this spring force and the 1-2 accumulator feed fluid pressure. This action absorbs the initial second clutch fluid pressure in order to cushion the second clutch apply. The movement of the 1-2 accumulator piston forces some of the fluid out of the accumulator.
