Variable Low Clutch Applied

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

Shift Solenoid 3 

The shift solenoid 3 is energized ON, allowing line fluid to enter the solenoid 3 signal circuit. Solenoid 3 signal fluid is then routed to the variable low clutch valve.

Variable Low Clutch Valve 

Solenoid 3 signal fluid, at the variable low clutch valve, opposes variable low clutch valve spring force to supply line fluid pressure into the variable low clutch fluid circuit.

Variable Low Clutch Accumulator Piston 

Variable low clutch fluid is also sent to the variable low clutch accumulator piston. Variable low clutch fluid moves the variable low clutch accumulator piston against accumulator spring force to cushion apply of the variable low clutch assembly.

Variable Low Clutch Assembly 

Line fluid is routed through orifice #8 through the variable low clutch valve and into the variable low clutch circuit. Variable low clutch fluid passes through the variable low clutch housing and moves the variable low clutch piston against spring force to apply the variable low clutch.
