Variable High Clutch Applies

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

Shift Solenoid 2 

The shift solenoid 2 is energized ON, allowing line fluid to enter the Solenoid 2 signal circuit. Solenoid 2 signal fluid is then routed to the variable high clutch valve.

Variable High Clutch Valve 

Solenoid 2 signal fluid, at the variable high clutch valve, opposes variable high clutch valve spring force to supply line fluid pressure into the variable high clutch fluid circuit. This also allows compensator feed fluid to exhaust through the variable high clutch valve exhausting the variable high clutch dam.

Variable High Clutch Assembly 

Line fluid is routed through orifice #9 through the variable high clutch valve and into the variable high clutch fluid circuit. Variable high clutch fluid passes through the transmission case and variable high clutch housing and moves the variable high clutch piston against spring force to apply the variable high clutch.
