Fluid Pressure Directed in Preparation for a Shift

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

R1/456 Pressure Control (PC) Solenoid 3 

The R1/456 PC solenoid 3 is commanded OFF allowing PCS R1/456 clutch fluid to exhaust from the R1/456 clutch regulator valve.

R1/456 Clutch Regulator Valve 

R1/456 clutch regulator valve spring force moves the valve to the released position, allowing R1/456 clutch feed fluid to enter the exhaust backfill circuit, and drive 1-6 fluid to enter the PS4 fluid circuit. PS4 fluid is then routed to the normally-closed #4 pressure switch and opens the switch. PS4 fluid is also routed to the #1 ball check valve and flows into the CSV2 latch fluid circuit.

#1 Ball Check Valve 

PS4 fluid pressure seats the #1 ball check valve against the 456 clutch fluid circuit. PS4 fluid is then directed into the CSV2 latch circuit and routed to the clutch select valve. CSV2 latch fluid combines with clutch select valve spring force and holds the valve in this position during all six forward gear ranges.

#2 Ball Check Valve 

Drive 1-6 fluid pressure seats the #2 ball check valve against the 35 reverse clutch feed fluid passage, and is directed into the 35 reverse clutch feed/drive 1-6 circuit. 35 reverse clutch feed/drive 1-6 fluid is routed through orifice #25 to the 35 Reverse clutch regulator valve.

3-5-Reverse Clutch Regulator Valve 

35 reverse clutch feed/drive 1-6 fluid passes through the 3- 5-reverse clutch regulator valve into the PS3 fluid circuit. PS3 fluid is then routed to the normally-closed #3 pressure switch and opens the switch.
